[edit] Didn't Washington Star Publish Daily from 1850s?

Article states the Post was the first DC paper to publish daily. Didn't the Evening Star publish on a daily basis going back to the Civil War? Walt Whitman commented that he first became aware of the assasination of Lincoln from that source.Tom Cod

[edit] Introduction of color

The article states that the first color photo on the front page was used on January 28th 1999, however there is no mention of what the image was. I believe this would be interesting information, and it must be available somewhere. My memory was that the photo was one of the first images from the Hubble telescope, however the Hubble_Space_Telescope article clearly proves the weakness of my memory.

[edit] Assessment

B class, but still needs work. The list of contributors perhaps should become a category. The history and political stance sections lurch around a bit. Well sourced, though, and well-covered. --M@rēino 20:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Accusations

Who the heck is "American Thinker" and what is their credibility on any subject? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.120.62 (talk) 02:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Post Graham Period

This section is jumbled, describing several events that took place a decade previously, and several other topics which are not relevant here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.120.62 (talk) 02:31, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] I'm interested in reading the difference in orientation between the Post and the New York Times..

Despite the article's emphasis on the Post's conservativism, as a general reader, I feel the Post often has a progressive edge over NYT. I can't pinpoint it, but it's the general impression I receive from reading the Post's article. I'm interested in reading the comparison between the two ..(even though of course the Post doesn't seem to have as much resources as NYT). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yayoikoi (talkcontribs) 12:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
