r/fednews is fed up with reporters from the Washington Post
Thread: Washington Post reporters
A couple of reporters from WaPo are trying to write a story about everything happening in the federal government today, including trying to get members of the r/fednews subreddit which has become a defacto source of reporting on the resistance to speak to them.
A few redditors have reported some observations of their own in the thread:
One redditor brought receipts:
The same Lisa Rein who made it sound like telework abuse was rampant at USPTO, when most patent examiners use telework responsibly? Why should anyone trust you?
Did WaPo lose some trust?
Now you are allowed to start reporting? We had a subscription to The Washington Post since Watergate. I canceled it last year because your ownership, your editorial department, and your reporting were compromised. You bowed the knee before the election. I don't think you're standing up now. Trust can be easily lost. It's not so easily earned again.
One redditor checks notes:
[Checks notes] let’s see -WAPO didn’t endorse Kamala….cut off free WAPO membership for Feds…ran near constant stories critical of the Biden administration and the Harris campaign…ran stories critical of feds and questioning our work ethic?
How about fuck off.
And this gem:
WaPo helped turn out the lights.
