The Washington Post (WaPo) Is Still Censoring Conservative Voices

 

The day after the 5 November 2024 Presidential Election I was reading the comments to a WaPo article about Trump’s victory and noticed a comment that hit home with me. It seems a commenter was complaining about one of his rather non-controversial comments being removed by the WaPo censors and because this often happens to me, I wrote the below “Comment I tried to post” supporting his contention that WaPo censors target conservative commenters to disproportionately censor conservative voices. When I hit the “Submit” button I found in the time it took me to write my comment the WaPo Censors had already deleted the comment I was replying to so I got this message: “This comment has been removed by the moderator.” Hence, I wrote this “Message I actually posted” and posted it but notice I predicted “Let’s see how long it takes for the WaPo Censors to remove my comment.” The WaPo Censors did not disappoint me because within 15 minutes they had removed my comment once again confirming the WaPo tagline: “Democracy Dies in Darkness and the WaPo Is Turning Out the Lights.”

If I were to post my original comment in the WaPo comments section I’m confident the WaPo Censors would just remove it again and probably suspend me from commenting so I’ll post it at my Blog here and anyone interested is seeing my 100% true comment that was so objectionable or “inaccurate” that it offended the delicate sensitivities of the WaPo Censors so they had to remove it can read it and judge it for themselves.

Message I actually posted:

I just tried to reply to a rather nebulous comment complaining about the WaPo censors deleting one of the commenter’s previous comments but when I tried to post the below comment I got a message: “This comment has been removed by the moderator.” Appears “Moderator” is the new WaPo euphemism for “Censor.” Let’s see how long it takes for the WaPo Censors to remove my comment.

Comment I tried to post

This happens to me all the time, especially when I post comments that include links to previous WaPo articles debunking all the misinformation and even outright lies contained in the article.

WaPo censors are quick to silence Conservative voices by deleting the comment and serving suspensions from commenting for posting 100% true and accurate comments that might not align with the false narrative the WaPo was trying to peddle to their majority Liberal-Left-Leaning readership.

In recent years I have been a frequent WaPo commenter gleefully pointing out and correcting their numerous errors but have noticed over time fewer and fewer comments from Conservatives have been showing up. I had assumed this lack of Conservative comments was due to fewer and fewer Conservative WaPo subscribers as the paper kept drifting further and further to the Left and losing readers but over time it has become apparent that the WaPo just censors, deletes and ultimately bans Conservative voices to avoid embarrassment from having their errors and biased coverage exposed. I know this because that is what has been happening to me.

At my Blog (https://old-soldier-colonel.blogspot.com ) I have posted several of my 100% accurate comments that have been removed and even garnered suspensions to challenge anyone to point out what was so objectionable or inaccurate that it offended the delicate sensitivities of the WaPo Censors other than it confirms the WaPo has become nothing more than a Liberal-Left-Leaning Democrat propaganda rag.
