IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST IS BRINGING THE NATION TOGETHER: Readers unanimously agree the Post made a huge mistake publishing that Halloween cancel culture story. “What’s really astounding here is that, without intending to, the Washington Post has published a piece of woke-scolding agenda journalism so stupid and tone deaf that it is actually uniting people on the left and right against this type of public struggle session.”
