I'm not familiar with this, but are you saying the Washington Post doesn't post about Washington anymore?

You should probably read about the cuts we're talking about, then. From the OP:

> The metro staff, already cut to about forty staffers during the past five years, has been shrunk to about twelve

Washington Post has always been very strong covering US Politics in DC. That’s probably what drives subscribers more than anything. Reporters there have a lot of access to decision makers in Congress, White House, etc

A lot of that trust in WaPo is gone now and moved onto Politico and NY Times.

It's not a 0 or a 1. They had more staff doing it, now they have less. That means they now do 0.2, which is not 0 as you're implying, but it's still significantly worse than back when it was 1.
