Above the fold...

To compound matters, the morning after what some media outlets have described as the deadliest aviation disaster "involving a U.S. passenger jet" since February 2009, the Washington Post, which is the "hometown" newspaper in this case, decided to feature mostly anti-Trump articles about the President and his various nominees on its front page and above the fold.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the post has had an anti-Trump article on the front page every day for over 10 years now.
They wouldn't want to show any disrespect for the victims.
They were probably just concerned about maintaining the streak.

No bias there.
No, sir. Not a bit.
If you take a quick gander at Redstate's front page, you'll find that it is full of stories describing how Trump's picks won their selection arguments against those awful Democrats.
Which is simply a statement of facts, presumably.
Just a faint whiff of hypocrisy in the air, perchance?

Gee, on one hand we have a blog dealing with politics. Maybe the sneaky name gave it away, huh? OTOH, we have a purported newspaper with a huge bias, and they keep telling us how fair and important they are.
Democracy dies in darkness, y'all...

Not even close. There's a world of difference between print processes (which is what the fold refers to) and digital. One's fixed, the other's fluid in every possible way.
And then there's going into what the Washington Post purports to be versus what Redstate purports to be.

Not fair and balanced, then?
I guess if you want lack of bias, you can always fall back on your favourite, The Daily Mail.

I don't agree that the medium of distribution should affect the quality, however I guess the fact that Redstate tacitly admits they're nothing more than propoganda makes it OK. It would also appear to make anything they say essentially worthless.

At the Washington Post, some slob runs up to the editor at 10:00 PM.
"Boss, a plane just collided with a helicopter and both fell into the river. We start printing in an hour."
The Boss: "STOP THE PRESSES!!!"
That didn't happen.
What happened?
"Boss, a plane just collided with a helicopter and both fell into the river. We start printing in an hour."
The Boss: "Put it at the bottom, in a corner. We gotta run the politics stories."

No, what's worse is that WaPo doesn't admit that it's propaganda. And there's nothing tacit about Redstate's editorial decision. THey're as partisan as the DailyKos.

Well, admittedly I don't read newspapers, a habit I lost long ago back in the UK when most of the print-media bias was on the other side of the political spectrum.
Maybe you need Rupert Murdoch to take over some of your daily papers.

LOL my family got the Washington Times as a kid. I don't read WaPo or RedState or anything else that's interested in stirring up their viewers so they can get clicks and sell ads.

Yet, you keep serving up WaPo stats like the Sermon On The Mount.

I'm forced to read The Daily Mail very much against my will when my friends here insist on posting links to their appalling articles.
I feel that this is essentially an abusive relationship.

Not sure why this is so hard to grasp. You asked where did the 30,573 lies stat come from? I provided you with a CSV file with each single one, fully analyzed and auditable. You discounted the whole list because the person who put it together works for WaPo, as if that discredits the facts in the spreadsheet. If RedState authors did the exact same work and provided the exact same spreadsheet, would you believe it then?
