This article appeared on the front page of the Sunday/16 July 2023 Washington Post (WaPo) but it had been the lead story on the WaPo’s website all day Saturday. The article was about a dispute between a Gay couple and a Straight Christian couple in rural The Plains, Virginia. Although the WaPo clearly sided with the Gay couple, the Old Colonel’s wife did not even comment on the dispute but rather questioned why the WaPo would publish an article about a tiny remote Virginia village that isn’t even a DC suburb and start it on the WaPo Front Page, then devote two entire Section A pages to the story. Next below is the WaPo story headline and the link to the story in case anyone was interested in wasting their time reading it. Then under that I have pasted in the exact verbatim comment the Old Colonel’s wife posted in the comments section that obviously so offended the WaPo Censors that they removed it for “violating the WaPo community standards” (as if the WaPo had any standards). You can read the comment and see for yourself if you can find anything offense about it. I sure can’t. Also, all I see is criticism of the WaPo’s judgement in wasting readers time and WaPo ink with a story about two couples bickering in rural Virginia. Unfortunately, this is not the first time the WaPo has censored comments by the Old Colonel and now the Old Colonel’s wife. Because the Old Colonel has been banned from commenting, the Old Colonel’s wife has to comment for both of us now. Below is also a link to the Blog article (in this Blog) explaining the arbitrary and capricious manor in which the WaPo bans commenters. It’s eye opening.
A gay couple ran a rural restaurant
in peace. Then new neighbors arrived.

How did an obscure
story about a small Virginia village of ~250 people 60+ miles from DC warrant
being one of the lead stories on the Washington Post webpage? Is the WaPo going
into completion with The Plains Weekly Shopper for “scoops?”
Is the WaPo really
this desperate to displace the negative news about President Biden and his son
Hunter or Vice President Harris out of the headlines that they sink to the
level of tabloid journalism? And here I thought the WaPo was a respected
National newspaper, live and learn. I expect to begin seeing the WaPo along
side the National Inquirer in supermarket check out lines.
Why Comments in the
Washington Post Comments Sections Run Ten to One Liberal

In recent years I have been a frequent WaPo
commenter gleefully pointing out and correcting their numerous errors but have
noticed fewer and fewer comments from Conservative readers have been showing
up. I had assumed that this lack of Conservative comments was
attributable to fewer and fewer Conservative WaPo subscribers as the paper kept
drifting further and further to the Left but recently I have learned
otherwise. It seems the WaPo just censures, deletes and ultimately bans
Conservative commenters to avoid WaPo embarrassment from having their errors
and biased coverage exposed. I know this because that is what has happened
to me.
