When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Btw I’ve been pitching a piece about this, some of my other observations while in that section and how it got to its current state of kak, hmu if you’re an editor who wants to pay me for it.

(WaPo opinion pages have been batshit for at least a couple of decades though.)

Glad to hear. Very much looking forward to this.
