It’s fascinating to watch The Washington Post try to dig itself out of the pit it created for itself with its coverage of a Virginia Association of School Superintendents (VASS) letter that was critical of the Youngkin administration. The WaPo news team appears to have forgotten the First Law of Holes: “When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”

Lazy Mainstream Media Lied to Virginia

There was a time when any half-baked, partially sober editor would have thrown those stories back at reporters and asked them to make a phonecall to confirm that every superintendent was on board with the letter. That clearly didn’t happen. It fit a narrative, that was enough for these “news” organizations.
