WaPo Provides Cover for Musk’s Government Takeover
fair.org
It wasn’t just Jeff Bezos’s company that threw Elon Musk a lifeline, but also his newspaper.

It seems to be Bezos’s as well. With Amazon and Blue Origin, Bezos’s space company, competing for billions in government contracts, it makes perfect business sense for Bezos to cozy up to Musk and Trump. From a journalistic perspective, however, it’s nothing short of a disaster, one that’s playing out daily in the pages of the Washington Post.

    Nothing like disingenuous criticism to make you look like an ass. There are so many things to criticize WaPo for recently, why post straight up lies? For example, this outlet claims that they buried the Musk hand gesture. By the time the article they published on 1/23 (linked as a source in this article), WaPo has numerous articles posted about the hand gesture, not “one” as this outlet claims.

    Id wager there are other bogus claims here but I only bothered to investigate one.

    Edit: yeah, their “bombshell” evidence links to an article that says the govt spends too much money and the pentagon needs to be reined in and we need to raise the income limit for taxes on social security. Big endorsement of Musk /s
