Incredibly poor decision by editors/whoever made the call in 2021.
Sitting on it until 25 May after NYT ran a story on 16 May? Unforgivable.
WaPo is the local paper for the Capitol. That's why they got the initial tip. 90% of the time NYT isn't going to get that NoVa tip. WaPo needs to be on it!
WaPo has seen a 50% loss in audience since 2020. But since they're incapable of actually asking their readers what they want (accurate, thorough coverage), they're gonna slash and cut their way to ... what, exactly?
The neighbor(s) in question, after seeing no story within a couple of weeks, must have been sitting on tenterhooks thinking "when will I get stopped and a half pound of fentanyl mysteriously found in my rear quarter panel"
Just realized today's WaPo story says Alitos didn't attend Biden's inauguration. Seems a little weird, in spite of Covid.
WaPo reporter visited the Alito's on the day of Biden's inauguration.
Which makes her agitation read differently. Like her yelling “It’s an international signal of distress!”
