A few times a year, the Post comes wrapped in a special advertising supplement called China Watch that, again, does its best to approximate a legitimate newspaper.
Underneath the masthead in fine print, it reads: "This supplement, prepared by China Daily, People's Republic of China, did not involve the news or editorial departments of the Washington Post.".
Further, the Post has spent the better part of a year attacking the Trump administration for its inadequate response to Saudi Arabia after the kingdom apparently killed one of the Post's writers, Jamal Khashoggi.
The timing of it again publishing Chinese propaganda was even more appalling.
The New York Times confirmed it was still distributing Russia Beyond last year, and the Washington Post distributed it as late as 2015.
When Tucker Carlson asked Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple about the Post publishing paid Russian propaganda when he has been so critical of the Trump administration's ties to Russia, the response was embarrassing.
So here's a free tip to help them begin to recover their credibility: If you don't want to be treated like propagandists, stop publishing actual propaganda on behalf of the worst people on earth.
