The Washington Post is a daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C.. The Media Bias Fact Check website, which provides an objective bias rating, describes the publication as having
"a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation."[1]
In 2023, the Post's average printed weekday circulation was 139,232, making it the third-largest newspaper in the country by circulation. The paper is remembered especially for defying pressure from the Presidency of Richard Nixon and continuing to publish stories by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein about the Watergate scandal.
As of 2024, the Washington Post is controlled by American billionaire Jeff Bezos, who bought it in 2013.
