The Wapoo bills itself as one of America’s great newspapers and has a lock on much of what passes for news in Metro DC. News gathering – not the cringe-inducing editorials on its OpEd pages – is what keeps that paper alive.

What I hear Freddy saying via Ms. Howell is that the WaPoo doesn’t want to be a newspaper any more.
