😳🤪😡
Bezos is a short dick baldheaded fuck!
Bluesky, ban the Washington Post as it's not unbiased reporting. Their career journalists all quit because everything had to be written in Bezos wishes. This is pure propaganda.
And the Wapo falls in line with outlandish headline! Fuck the Wapo! Biased fucks!
Putting more pressure on DC police. youtu.be/Be6mp9vgM2w
MPD is just one chapter of the nation's most dangerous criminal gang. apnews.com/article/shan...
Another blow to reliability
If only there were a newspaper in town with a history of great investigative reporting that could tell us whether the crime stats were made up or not.
Predicated on lies from Donald Trump. How about reporting that Washington Post?
At which point you say “which is bullshit”
They didn't. Wrap the "investigation" up.
You know this is complete BS, right? Gone are the days when “the Justice Department is investigating…” held any actual meaning.
This tells us how the Republican mind works. It's what they would do: alter the numbers to fit their narrative. People who function normally (you know, use their brains) would let data lead when making policy decisions. But not the GOP these days.
Sounds on brand for facist GOP
It’s to cover their asses at the WH for such a stupid pitch about the crime. Not a single one of those in his inner circle had the wherewithal to check before blaming…
Bezos fascist enabling tabloid says words.
Breaking news: I am investigating the Washington Post for uncritically laundering creeping fascism.
Did Stephen Miller write this?
DOJ directive: "Find me 11,780 crimes"
OMG!! Then we are supposed to believe Trump’s data?
Its all fake. They didnt manipulate the data. But Trump needs to make people think this. Provide cover for his illegal military deployment And WaPo, now right wing propaganda, does not question, reports as is. When the facts come out this is made up by Trump, will be buried on page 27.....
Oh cool another sham investigation
if they DID manipulate the data bondi would LOVE to know how to do it too
Unhappy with reality? Assign the Gestapo to intimidate.
Not happy with reality? Assign the Gestapo … er, DOJ to intimidate … er, investigate.
I want to know why the WP is not reporting on Trump’s declining medical condition. He was zigzagging on the red carpet to greet his sugar-daddy, Putin. Even if Trump sued you, there is a process of Discovery & the public would finally know what’s wrong with this man.
“Back the blue, but not their made up crime statistics!”
#CheatingAtWork
Laundering Trump Propaganda
This is clearly bullshit and your gullibility is helping lead us down a road we will not come back from.
Trump doesn’t like the data so it has to be “fake”. Riiiiiiiight. What a fascist ass.
Breaking news: Trump minions find another rabbit hole, swear there's gonna be a rabbit in this one.
You dumb fucks
This is right up there with the 2020’ election was stolen.
This is a lie that the Trump supporting head of the police union came up with to help MAGA.
The justice department cooking up new ways to justify their occupation of D.C…
bsky.app/profile/abdo...
The Washington Post is just fully gone
You guys don't break any news. You carry fascist water.
Sure the lying pieces of trash aren’t lying this time? GFY fascist enablers
You have descended lower than pond scum. Boot-licking traitorous trash.
You've embarrassed yourself enough already. You might as well burn it all down. Nobody will ever respect this publication again. Sad
Shame on you - parroting propaganda.
Propaganda was a tool of the Nazi Party in Germany from its earliest days to the end of the regime in May 1945 at the end of World War II in Europe. As the party gained power, the scope and efficacy of its propaganda grew and permeated an increasing amount of space in Germany.
Doj is going to smear DC and falsely claim that they fudge the numbers to make the crime rates look lower all in an effort to justify the illegal takeover by the military. Fixed the headline for you
Let me guess who their next numbers guy will be. 🙄 Yet another distraction from the EPSTEIN FILES!!!
Why even do the newspaper? Just take Trump’s tweets and press releases and just put them on your website and front page. Much more efficient. Nazi collaborators.
Jobs report flashback all over again.
Breaking news: These boots taste awesome.
Every one at the post are the enemy of the people now
The Trumpington Post
This is unreal. Talk about too much government.
They're going to do anything possible to gain control of the capital. It's a complete power grab.
They didn't, but keep being stenographers for Nazis.
You guys are just printing whatever your god Trump wants now eh? Fascists
more bullshit
To those remaining at the Post: "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
But they used "alleged" so it absolves them right
You should rename to Washingtruth Post cos you're just a mouthpiece for Nazi Pedophiles now.
Hahahahahahaahahahaha FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF YOU LYING CUNTS Ahahahahaahahaha
whoever wrote this you are a little bitch
It's a war on truth.Disgusting behaviour.
An honest headline would point out this “investigation” is without merit.
Oh for phuque’s sake
How many times have you guys fallen for the “wallet inspector” bit?
Translation: D.C Crime data doesn’t fit trump’s false narrative, so DOJ is again weaponized against reality.
Have you lot over there put 7 year olds in charge of things? This is so bloody childish.
All provable facts are now subject to ‘correction’ to match Fearless Leader’s statements, regardless of the actual truths represented by the facts. Heil Trump.
should be „Breaking news: The Justice Department is investigating whether White House manipulated data to make crime rates appear higher“
eat that nazi dick
Why are you helping the regime manufacture a bogus crime narrative? Do your fucking job: Go outside & see whether it's raining.
Great stenography there. Your click generators are doing their job well.
Good thing y'all aren't journalists, otherwise this would be embarrassing
Attack the truth, intimidate the innocent, and claim victory over reality. It's the fascists way. It's the MAGA/GOP way! 😠
or Expected news: The DOJ has opened an investigation to support the Administration's previously claimed D.C. crime rates.
Stop being pussies and just drop the bullshit. Call out their crap. This headline is a bunch of nothing. You know damn well they want to manipulate the data. Information control is the key to fascism. They're losing it over the Epstein Files. Body them every day by asking for it.
Who, exactly, has alleged that the crime data is not legitimate? Or does that really matter here? They're unhappy with the facts and they can't fire the person who published the facts, so the next best thing is to investigate and substitute better facts.
They have no answers only blame
They don’t need or want results. They just want to create a media opportunity to say they’re investigating the data.
Why would police do a thing that gets them less money?
Distraction. Release the Epstein files.
Make sure you cup the balls first
What a miserable propaganda rag this once great paper had become. Not good enough for the bottom of a bird cage.
Yet again drumpf and his crony repiblikkkans blatantly lying to our faces. RACISTS AND FACISTS
fuck you guys
Zmyd prediction.... They didn't.
My prediction. Damn typos, and I can't edit it either :(
So you quickly push this out for them without analysis, instead of questioning if this is a real investigation or another political move from an administration not known for its interest in accurate data. Less transcription, more journalism please!
The launch of the criminal investigation — run out of the federal prosecutor’s office in D.C. — escalates the tense relationship between the Trump administration and local D.C. officials. Read more here:
Its all fake. Made up. Typical Trump maneuver, claim the oppo is doing what you are/plan to do. Real reason: Trump needs to justify his deployment of US military in our own cities, as they practice for the future, when they will occupy major cities as Trump cancels elections.
34 felonies in the White House alone.
sure Jan
Judge Box O’ Wine is on it!
Cancelled my subscription so can’t tell for sure-is there a byline on this? Doesn’t look like it
www.foxnews.com/politics/mig...
This is to balance the fake restaurant attendance data🤣
Remind me *hic* who the *hic* DC Prosecutor is? (hint: middle name "Box-O-Wine")
It's on the tip of my tongue - Did they used to be employed by an organization that had to pay 787 million dollars for lying about the election results????
Hey, why you guys lying?
Fuck Bezos and your shitty "reporting" 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
If reality isn’t going your way, just make shit up.
They should just rename the paper The WashTrumpington Post. How any self respecting journo could print fascist propaganda like this and go home and face their kids knowing they're dooming their own kids to live under fascism is beyond me.
You think they could ask a simple follow-up question, nothing complicated. Something along the lines of "DEI Blondie, aren't crime statistics provided by the FBI?" Something easy!
Just a stenographer for liars. Jesus Christ.
This framing is journalistic malpractice.
Lol Trump had a press conference in May stating that DC was one of the safest cities in the world. Three months later its bad enough to send in the military. Yall got conned hard.
They are willing propagandists
When you need Republican press releases spewed out verbatim with no analysis, we're just the hollowed-out paper to do it.
How do you report this as “breaking news” instead of the BS it is? Oh yeah, Bezos sold out to Conald. Forgot you’re no longer a legit news org. Democracy died in Jeff’s bank account.
you think your readers are dumb, don't you?
They always think others do what they would do.
in what world have pigs EVER tried to make crime look "lower"
Corrected headline: "Justice" Department working to falsify crime data.
The group, whose tax funding relies on scaring locals into giving them more money by saying crime is higher than it is, is lowering stats? Sure
Any numbers our dear leader doesn't like are under investigation to justify his actions. Lower crime rates...impossible. lower job creation..couldn't be true. Low approval polls...fake news. Hard to take anything he says seriously.
It's going to be really fucking funny when Trump seizes your printing presses and calls you communists anyway. You can't actually appease this fascist, because he doesn't want submission. He just wants to hurt people.
Oh how convenient that partisan political hacks who work for Trump want to help sell his narrative. And that the media will help them do it.
you're just a disgusting rag now
The only thing fascists do is LIE.
And the Washington Post is the fascist rag to help them do it
No one is safe. They will throw local law enforcement under the bus for their false narrative.
Your company is basically just stenographers for a fascist occupation.
Lol you fuckin hacks
so "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was more of an instruction guide for you all, eh? In what world do you not contextualize the abuse and manipulation of data by a WH that has openly stated they will be providing BLS numbers that make them look good? www.politifact.com/article/2025...
It sounds like MAGA is throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. They think we are all stupid. It's a sad statement that I am more educated than a lot of the people supposed to be representing me...including POTU!
The old WaPo would not be a stenographer for DOJ propaganda. Clearly, whenever Trump admin doesn't like data, it claims it is false and then illegally weaponizes its authority to create doubt. That's what authoritarian governments do. but the current WaPo loves authoritarianism--not democracy
Hold on. The midterms are around the corner.
Jesus, you just print whatever anonymous bullshit you get fed, dont you?
Just another sharpie moment for the orange felon
Go fuck yourself, WaPo!
Everything is a lie except what comes out of the mouth of the pathological pedo president’s ugly mouth.
Republicans are lying. Again.
Does the head of the DOJ understand that much of the public believes she is hopelessly bent at this point? Because, whatever retrofitted data they produce...we ain't buying it.
Statistics are valued based on reliability & utility. As produced by our fed agencies, they are viewed around the world as having both. If the regime mucks around with them for their immediate political purposes they soon have neither. We will be reduced to lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Yup. The Regime (which you love and support wholeheartedly) that lies about fucking EVERYTHING is certainly credible here. WAPO. You’re a bunch of Nazi supporting quislings.
Trump posts this to Temu Twitter... “Until 4 days ago, Washington, D.C., was the most unsafe ‘city’ in the United States, and perhaps the World. Now, in just a short period of time, it is perhaps the safest, and getting better every single hour!" ...then has the balls to call other numbers fake.
If anyone manipulated this, it’s the Trump administration!
FUCK YOU, @washingtonpost.com This headline is shit because you know the data is not manipulated.
eat shit, wapo this regime is full of liars and here you are taking them at their word
If by ‘alleged’ DoJ means ‘shit we’ve made up to deflect attention from the actual issue’ then, yeah, this headline makes sense.
Just like Trump has accused the statistics administration of fudging numbers to make look bad ... 😟
My god you people are fascists
Oh yeah police love to claim crime is *lower*, definitely
It's all a fucking lie, but you can't bother to do real reporting.
Are you guys willing dupes or just the regular kind?
Well as the Justice Department is manipulating the involvement of Trump in the Epstein files?
Don't crime statistics come out of the FBI?
LOL. I guess reality has a well-known liberal bias.
You're just sort of playing stenographer here, eh?
I wouldn’t wipe my ass with your shit rag paper
Fucking 3 months ago they were crowing about the DC crime rate being lower! You’re fucking carrying their water by not pointing that out. Shameful
Pretty sure Leavitt was crowing about it…yesterday?
Lol. Of course they are. But there is NO justification for sending armed federal goons into a city run by political opponents of the WH to intimidate and terrorize people. #NoPoliceState
Shut the hell up with this trump massaging nonsense
Please be more accurate: Trump's Justice Department wants to falsify D.C. crime data, just like 47 fired the person responsible for putting out accurate jobs data.
Exactly.
Trump's administration can't handle truth. They rage against reality. Only their desires matter. They're living in a fake world and insisting everyone else live the illusion. This is insane.
Get fucked, you clowns.
A hammer in search of a nail. Or in police terms: planting evidence to justify actions youve already taken.
Oh, like they’re gonna take a black Sharpie to some charts and say “line go up”? Which do you think is more likely: the DC police, DC council, and FBI are in a conspiracy to fix the crime stats and nobody’s snitched, or the Trump administration is lying?
The Washington Post promotes the #misinformation of the #Trump Nazi regime. #WashingtonDC #WashingtonPost #WaPo #CraPo #journalism
Wow. How much more can you suck Trump’s tiny wiener and kiss his flabby ass? What a joke you have become
I’m not surprised.
LOL, Jeff Bezos sucks.
Oh, come on, guys! We all know which side is cooking the books. He learn how when he ran Trump, Inc. When his CFO went to jail.
What's wrong with you? This is all bullshit you know it, but you treat it like it's legit. You are a disgrace
fuck you
Man, fuck you for printing regime propaganda.
Why do you credulously regurgitate fascist propaganda?
bsky.app/profile/grid...
In this era of politicized data and a weaponized judiciary, with a giant battle for control of the police going on between the Trump administration and the DC government, you simply cannot publish unqualified headlines like this. It is irresponsible. You know better. Shame.
They do know better. They are doing it because they are/work for the fascists. Every writer, every editor. It is only irresponsible if you incorrectly view WaPo as having institutional responsibility to the public. They do not. The paper must be destroyed, it cannot be persuaded
the post is garbage for the headline, but one of the real challenges of maintaining a 24/7 police state in the age of social media is that it makes it difficult to goose crime statistics in favor of the state; people are getting real time updates about how the feds are loafing about
The Washington Post is pretty much state media at this point.
The scribes at @washingtonpost.com don't care about selling out the people of their own town as long as daddy Bezos is happy. I don't know how they even sleep at night. Same approach & ethics as the New York Post.
New headline: "Trump angry at Democrats, launches yet another disgusting attack of bullying and lying to stroke his ego"
Just because a corrupt DOJ is investigating something does not give it any credibility. This is just shit journalism. A middle school paper is better.
what a bullshit, its convictions that count not arrests...
Is the new AG looking for missing boxes of wine? This is nothing but a distraction from all the other corruption
Breaking news: The Justice Department is once again being deceitful by pretending to investigating whether Washington, D.C. police manipulated data to make crime rates appear lower, according to anyone with a brain. Wapo, the news here is that this is yet another attempt at bullshitting us.
The most corrupt DoJ in the history of our country spews lies to rationalize militarizing our nation's capital, and YOU are just going to go with it?? Damn, look out of the window to see if it's raining instead of taking the weather report from DoJ. What happened to you??!!
Here’s an earlier DOJ -that was tethered to the rule of law - saying the stats were legit www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
JFC
Shut the fuck up Wapo, you "people" have zero credibility.
Oh ffs 🤦♀️
Is Trump Admin inventing fake shit “breaking news”? ‘Dog bites man’ - ? The breaking news would be if they issued true facts about some legitimate challenge currently facing the country.
I think that “journalists” that are this egregious in broadcasting outright lies to the public should have to turn and face the wall
All crime data is #copaganda. Ask whose crime gets reported? Where are all the reports on white collar crime? Wage theft? Union busting? Political corruption? Landlords. Health care denials. Shoddy food inspection. Lead levels in water supply. Pharmaceutical prices... #defundwapo
This headline is exhausting like so much of corporate media. They don’t understand how to report on this bogus crap. There’s ZERO legitimacy to it. The investigation is a sham and every sane logical person knows it. The headline should reflect that.
I'm afraid they do know how to report on bogus crap. They are simply choosing not to. They would rather bolster the bogus.
Jesus give me strength
Hu. hey. sir, you do need to investigate these companies fast, that can give you language qualifications without you going into —any test room. Grands btw
And who will investigate the Justice Department?
the criminal admin, lead by a known fraudster, is accusing others of fraud. this is peak projection by the trump admin and should be treated as such.
Wash post…. I need an article to write. I wonder what republicans are mad about to today. Who cares if it’s complete bullshit. They make my job easy.
