The Washington Post as allegory

advertisement

The Washington Post today in a lead editorial laments the sharp rightward turn the Supreme Court has taken this term. This after the Washington Post endorsed the confirmations of both Sameul Alito and John Roberts. The Post now says that the court s "nudge to the right" is "unsurprising and disappointing." Hmmm. If it s unsurprising then it means the Post expected this from Alito and Roberts. And if they expected this endorsed the two men anyway and now are lamenting that Alito and Roberts did exactly what the Post expected then they re either hypocrites or fools. And the Post s editorial page editor Fred Hiatt is no fool.
