Good answer. But charmingly naive Hildy. You forget we're now in the post-literacy age of alternative "credibility." You don't even need Kellyanne's "alternative facts." You just need to carefully curate your stories and spin the "fact facts" enough times, et voila! Alternative credibility. A misleading head here, a "fact fact" misinterpreted or strategically left out there. All in the name of "fairness" or "equivalence:" nothing wrong with "fairness," right? Among the highest traditions of journalism, right (sarcasm supplied)? Only a matter of time before Bezos tires of losing money he could better spend on a bigger, $600MM yacht (after all even a Russian oligarch can have a $500MM yacht) and finally sells the WaPo to Murdoch to properly end this Shakespearean tragedy. Next up, the WaPo coloring edition. Literally color the news anyway you like. Special discount on the 152-count Crayola box for a two year subscription.
