The Washington Post

Historic landmark and site of the previous free press periodical Washington Post. Remodeled in 2024, building now features internal blackout rooms and sweeping views of self-censorship where the editorial board used to think freely, critically. I couldn't help but notice how closely it resembles the old Washington Post, yet now completely gutted of trust - despite the relatively light hand used during the remodel - making it nothing like it used to be. A generous two stars.

Ruth Marcus, Journalist. spent 40 years at her job. Readers were interested in her articles. Now she could no longer, In my opinion , stepped down, because The WP would no longer run her stories. I am glad she stood up to big money taking over our country. Thank you Ruth Marcus. For all the great journalism 🦅💕🦅🦅🦅🦅

It was my wish to visit this news paper with great history. One of the deputy editors described about the functioning of the news paper.

A once great paper, but is now a corporate rag

Love the free mini crossword. My saviour 🙏

Very disappointed, paid for 12 month subscription in November 2023, I was locked out of my account in March 2024. Multiple (15) mail requests to re instate my account we met first with a response of “Your bank did a charge back” and then ignored- I never received a response to 10 mail requests to reinstate my account. My bank has NO RECORD OF THEIR STATEMENT. After this I will NEVER subscribe to this publication again

I absolutely hate how I cannot read anything online from The Washington Post unless I get a subscription. Not even a word from an article. I hope others will continue to give this “paper” the poor rating it deserves and potential customers WILL NOT subscribe to this paper until they allow us to read an occasional article. No telling how much they are paying Google AdWords to have their articles listed at the top of searches. It’s just wrong… In my opinion…

Remember my name very well I will be one of those whose mother is associated with Washington Post

Things are much better now - delivery is regular. The 7 Podcast rocks. Easy to pause for vacation. Feel like customer service was good the last time I tried. I appreciate the excellent journalism, even if I don't love the editorial decisions to drop the magazine, the opinion section, and made to not endorse in the Presidential contest and how the pro-democracy movement is being covered. The reporting is still truly excellent and I learn a lot in a way I can't find elsewhere. Bezos loses money on the Post - it's a noblesse oblige kind of thing to own a paper plus a desire for control on messaging in key moments quite likely. If you don't like Bezos, just don't buy from Amazon. Don't punish the journalism staff when we need journalism more than ever.

I've been a subscriber for 3 years or so. For the first two and half I propbably read a total of about 10 articles. It was wall to wall stupid liberal woke bs. Lately it's been getting better. Starting to at least scan each day. Something has changed. For the better. Still a long way to go for this uniquely positioned newspaper.

I recently subscribed to The Washington Post's free breaking news email alerts specifically: WorldView The Post Most The Optimist Must Reads I am very grateful that I am not a paid subscriber. The Washington Post news is very similar to The New York Times for format with various sections as I believe this news media copied as a catalyst. I highly prefer The New York Times for paid subscription. The Washington Post is a leading daily newspaper that serves the tri-state, metropolitan area of Washington, DC, parts of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia based in Washington, DC. I like to be informed for situational awareness of headline news outside of my hometown and home state. Breaking news!! The Washington Post refused a U.S. Presidential endorsement 2024 from the editorial section in contrast to the tradition of past history beliefs... but no comment from little o' me.

My parents began reading the Post during their early teenage years, and my mother continued having a daily subscription until her mid-'90s. The Post is a significant memory from my childhood, given that we lived in D.C. - and my husband & I had a subscription during the several years we lived in D.C. long ago. Although we've subscribed to the NY Times for decades and it's always been "the gold standard" for us, we decided to get a (digital) subscription to the Post a few years ago. We were perturbed when the Post (i.e.; Jeff Bezos) chose not to endorse a presidential candidate (meaning, Harris) - and don't get me started on the Inauguration spectacle - but we decided to continue subscribing. However; Bezos's announcement two days ago re: a significant editorial shift in the paper's Op-Ed section couldn't be ignored, so we've decided not to renew our subscription. We're doing this with regret, since the Post always had some terrific columnists. I'm giving a four-star review out of fairness, since the Post provided a superb paper for all these years until now.

What is adolf Hitler'and Joseph Stalin idea medication? Man made narcotics man made psilocybin provided by the corrupt mental health care GENOCIDE. To bring stability to our nation better high ways education social security for those who earned it depends on it free cannabis for every person who can use a lighter. Who will grow it prisoners who will learn to grow cash crop. For the declaration of independence it was written on hemp paper. Independence means your on your own it's your ass

I am a former subscriber. I really enjoyed WAPO broadcasts. However, this has become Bezos's trump supporting organ. This is sad beyond words. Like watching a beloved friend decline due to demetia.

What happened? I think I know what happened. Everything in America is for sale. The Post for years defended integrity and shed light on real problems. I'm looking at the caliber of the journalism that comes out now, particularly on the editorial page and I just I mourn actually. I'm not interested in reading the Pravda I don't wanna read the conspiracy theories in the epic times the Journal has gone and completely lost their mind. So washington post until you get a new owner I'm out not even if you offer me a prime day special. I'm disgusted. I'm an ex publishing executive actually of magazines and newspapers. Whoever's running a place has no soul or you would've already quit.

The Washington post has a paywall for obituaries!? That should be a free service, the families are typically writing that and it should not cost money to have insight into someone's life on earth.

My year-long digital subscription to The Washington Post just ended and I suspect that I will not renew my alms to this so-called paper of political record. It's not that the writing lacks authority and comprehensiveness, it's simply far too predictable against a "progressives good, conservatives bad" conceit that plays to a partisan Beltway chorus unaccustomed to editorial balance. One scroll through the comments after a contrarian opinion is a walk through fire replete with angry bureaucrats, villagers and pitchforks. I have absolutely no issue with a good old-fashioned unbraiding of the Republicans however, the tone of most WaPo pieces assumes that ail virtue and piety resides on the other side of the aisle -- only a myopic fool would buy into that narrative unchallenged. Unbelievable as it sounds, The New York Times is downright reactionary by comparison. I believe, I'll stick with the Gray Lady.

Forces you to verify through email through a code to view more than one sentence of an article.

Zero stars for non delivery of my Sunday paper with no way to obtain a paper copy! I can't even request redelivery because Sunday's paper comes via USPS on Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday), usually after 2pm all of which makes it impossible to send a request for redelivery which needs to be made by 10:30am on the same day of the missing edition. Since the WaPo discontinued all home delivery for western Loudoun County, Virginia they instead mail the paper. Thanks for nothing guys. And I don't even get the local edition, I get the DC one. Not quite the same. "Democracy Dies in Darkness" WILL happen at this rate.

When I wrote WAPO with a question about how to refresh their Live Trial Feed they wrote back with a form letter to clear cookies, change password, etc. UNACCEPTABLE! SO 1990's answer. Will cancel then try the NY Times...

I remember touring the Washington Post when I was a student. Katharine Graham led the tour. Newspapers and publications are shifting to all the changes in technology and less subscriptions. The post has a great online presence. Postlive has panels and interviews all over the place. The massive lobby is mostly marble. It is beautiful. You will have to visit in person to see it since they have a strict "no photos" policy at the front desk. You can take pictures anywhere else. If you can't see a live taping, you can look at previous interviews online.

All false info. Refuses to report truth about Kamala stopping aid from going to people who need it

fake newas, everything is taken out of context with their own opinion tied into it. no one cares about your uneducated opinion. just give the facts like the news is supposed to be. karma comes back around, that money dwindles quick.

They claimed videos of Biden are cheap fakes when anyone can tell they are raw and true. Why would anyone spend good money on this rag. The National Enquirer was more accurate.

It angers me that people (the ones that go around screaming "fake news") who's never even step foot in Washington DC, who's never read any of their content or been to their building, would leave such negative reviews just because they don't agree with their reportings. I am a fan of they honest reporting and quality content. I also enjoy their building space and news room. They are much respected amongst us that actually live in the DMV area.

50 some years as a subscriber; I am close to quiting. so biased, so capitalistic, no longer a journalistic pursuit.

The Post claims that by signing up via an email account you can read a few articles for free every month... what a joke. They force your account to pay for subscriptions to their articles and it glitched my tablet so bad that I had to reboot it. Plus, many stories are twisted and exaggerated in a very unbelievable and biased way. Not worth paying for.

The paper is way too expensive and they can't deliver on time in the morning before I have to leave for work so I cancelled after many years. I might get the online subscription but the paper itself isn't worth the price, especially with such bad delivery.

Pitiful delivery service. So hit and miss that I am so happy when the paper shows up. Sunday - no paper at 8:00 am. I guess the delivery person partied too hard last night. So sad. No wonder papers are disappearing.

The articles are OK with some well thought writing the customer service is atrocious I've been billed I was billed double for a year and they would not give me a refund

Terrible business and very dishonest journalists. All they do is twist stories and lie about the truth

I suppose most people are reviewing the newspaper. It's definitely gone downhill before and after becoming WaPo brought to you by Amazon, and no matter how hard they make it to get around their online paywall, I'm not paying for it in anything like its present state. Irrespective of one's political leanings, the Post is full of amateurish clickbait, and the perception of integrity it once had is gone. I did have the temerity to try and attend one of the live events they put on, however, which looked corporate-influenced, but interesting. They managed to foul this up by sending me two confirmation emails with different times for the event (and nothing indicating that one of them was a mistake), so I ended up literally walking away from the building as the event started meaning to get some food and thinking I'd come back because it was an hour later. Fortunately, the event was streamed online, and maybe I didn't miss anything by not being there in person anyway. I grew up reading the Post and I've been for in-person events before, but at this point, I feel bad for the legitimate journalists still working for one of the biggest companies in a troubled industry.

They literally have broken links and phone numbers on their website on how to cancel. Genuinely even in this environment I am surprised this is legal.

The Washington Post is a legend in DC and one of the oldest brands in the city. They are defining media technology and the digital version of The Post is superb. The actual building is beautiful and if you know someone on the inside, ask them for a tour of the building and the penthouse. Best view in the city!

I read with interest the extremes in the reviews and lack of common ground. The start of any process begins with an agreement of certain facts. As a retired military health care provider, the inability to unify and cooperate during pandemic is disappointing.

I keep hoping to get actual unbiased news from this publication but I am sorry to report that I can't find any unbiased news whatsoever in this "so called" newspaper publication. If you like one REALLY long multi-page Op Ed piece then this is your publication. Jeff might be a good merchandiser but he is one lousy Publisher. Best thing to do with The Washington Post at this juncture is to just fold it and let the employees go incognito so they won't be recognized by the public. It should increase their chances of getting work in the future. No stigma!

Decent general news. It's a DC-area publication, so it's politics-focused. Some other areas are lacking, like finance. Headlines are sometimes clickbaity, but not as bad as most. The worst they'll do is over-promise. As in, the title will say something like "Why such and such happened," and the article covers one of a dozen relevant factors. WaPo has some good stories that don't get covered much. Such as the one describing the large number of fake reviews on Amazon.com, or the one exposing AirBnB scams. Lots of careless mistakes. Needs better editing. Saw a title say stocks are up, when in reality they were down. Saw another refer to the "IEAE." Would expect WaPo editors to know what the IAEA is. Yeah, it costs money. All reliable news sources do. Free news is fake news. They send you spam without a way to unsubscribe. Kind of shady.

What a an absolute gem of leftist propaganda and none sense. I tried to give them a shot but it's not actual journalism. One long running opinion piece masquerading as news.. bye bye

My 87 yr old mother continues to pay for delivery and paper arrives 40% of the expected days. Never receive return calls from customer support after leaving messages. Service is extremely poor. Time to cancel.

The Washington Post must have a new company handling their subscription service. We have been getting the home delivered paper for years. After each year we have renewed at our current rate, or the best available rate, without a problem. They would even split the bill into two payments, acted courteous and helpful. This year there is an entirely different group answering the phones. They could not be ruder or more incompetent. Over four calls they sat in dead silence while waiting to tell me that there is nothing they can do. (My rate went from $107 to $250 dollars for a one year.) They were completely unwilling to offer anything including the new subscriber rate of $129 a year. Asked for a manager (who probably wasn't a manager) and continued to show zero concern about my situation or the fact that I was a loyal customer. I will NEVER understand this business model. Loyal, paying customers are treated worse than new customers. I have cancelled my subscription for the first time in 5 years. The Post should really re-think who is answering their phones. I couldn't be more furious at the uninterested, unhelpful and condescending tone!

They post false news all the time. This writing is reading fiction, you have to be crazy to believe the stuff the write. They are clearly being paid for stories and not facts. I would never waste my time reading this garbage they write!!

Horrendous customer service - unresponsive to complaints about delivery service. New carrier on the route throws paper onto our driveway despite our request that he use the box we have for that purpose. Often newspaper is wet and unreadable. Frustrating to try to explain this to their call caenter.in the Phillipines. They no longer offer credit for vacation stops, so we will probably cancel for longer trips.

I started reading WaPo during Watergate. Katharine Meyer Graham and Ben Bradlee ran a great paper and so did whoever was in charge at the NYT. Now they're so far left that they don't realize what may hit them in 2022 and 2024. To those who live near DC and think we're fake news right wing people I have news for you: we're centrist democrats, we don't have to live in DC to see what's up with WaPo and if you think we do that is exactly why Washington and that worldview is in for a surprise. 'I cancelled my digital subscription 7 weeks ago and still get stuff in my inbox. When I click, I'm prompted to subscribe. When I select unsubscribe the stuff keeps coming anyway. 'I called WaPo twice today. "Due to the heavy volume of calls, please e-mail your issue to help.washingtonpost.com." The heavy volume of calls may the sound of a country cancelling its subscription. 'Disgusted liberal Democrat.

We are going to cancel our 35 year subscription to the Post. Business section lousy, spirts section lousy now, the paper is nothing but opinion writers. Even the movie reviewers have to include dirty jabs at Republicans. Enough is Enough. My husband has asked me to cancel for over a year and I will this week. We want to be informed not propagandized vía the Bezos Post. I'll only miss the Thursday weekend section. I'll have to go to the local library. I heard Starbucks won't carry newspapers anymore. Washington Post, You have created darkness and we deserve better.

I finally got tired of the news in the Washington Post. I am home now, so I can actually watch speeches and hear what is said. I have been amazed at how biased the Post is. So many things are reported wrong. I never believed in FAKE NEWS, but I am beginning to. It seems like the Post is getting it wrong too much. Time to stop - it's like watching NBC...and we know how biased NBC is.

The Washington Post likes to say they are transparent and open. However, if they ban you from commenting they refuse to tell you why you were banned, they refuse to tell you what comment resulted in the ban, and they refuse to tell you how the comments section is moderated. I'm guessing it's some third-party contractor. What a joke. Transparent? Nope. Canceled my subscription due to their arrogance.

How did this publication lose their way so drastically? I remember when the media was there to provide a story. An unbiased story based on verified facts, allowing the public to make their own opinion of the information provided. It's so incredibly concerning that this publication believes that it is their duty to endorse, influence and manipulate public opinion. I am a loyal American, neither far right nor far left , that simply wants to stay informed. Unfortunately, I trust NOTHING that you say. I question and critique your every sentence, worried that your printed word is just part of some larger agenda. Please take a good long look at what you've become and do the world a favor...report the news.

Used to get this paper for the ads as well. They sure have changed. Now it's nothing but lies and FAKE NEWS. How stupid do they really think we the people are? Do not give this company a dime and let everyone you know.

I'm very disappointed with this newspaper. The reader comments after the article have not been accessible by the common Safari browser for over a year (as of August, 2019). I've emailed and phoned their customer service and only get this form letter over and over again: "We're aware that some readers are encountering issues with the comments section. Unfortunately, at this time, we can't provide an estimate for when these issues will be resolved." Dear Washington Post: This technical issue can be easily resolved if you get a competent IT team and make a minuscule amount of effort to solve the problem!

Always wants to charge me a $1 to read their stuff. Not going to happen. I wish I didn't have to give them one star because they didn't earn that one from me.

Absolutely love my Washington Post subscription! The WP Digital Access works well on my TV and my phone. Use this every day. The Washington Post is a long established leader in journalism and I thoroughly enjoy their in depth reporting. I appreciate their thorough, and accurate political reporting in the United States. I trust the reporting of this paper to be meticulous with facts and timely; they have not let me down. There is a reason their digital subscriptions are reaching towards 2 million subscribers. I purchase two news sources, The Washington Post and the New York Times, both equally as good. We need WaPo journalists now more than ever.

Biased reporting from what I have seen. Nothing like following the fake news movement.

The post bothers a lot of people and for good reason. They focus on facts. Even the right uses their reporting when it suits them.

I have canceled my subscription and no longer read any articles from them online anymore. In the last 10 years as a subscriber I am disgusted by the negative articles. The paper has a proven bias against conservatives and I myself am not a conservative but I can no longer read the gloom and doom and negative inaccurate reporting of facts. So I no longer recommend them, and as a doctor I no longer will provide the paper in my offices since it may make my clients feel more sick. Maybe when they change things I'll think about coming back but for now I'll stick with other more factual outlets.

The obituary desk is disappointing. OVERPRICED ads and they can't spell worth a damn. Paid $340 for a small ad (no photo) and they screwed it up. Misspellings (the month April which a 1st grader can spell; patriarch ) and prepositions missing making the sentence structure sound ignorant. THEN, it's nobody's fault. WASTE OF MONEY.

Tried to read a recommended by Pocket article BUT got hit with a paywall.I refreshed the page and hit ESC to read it. Crapfest of an article pandering to the current events with little research. Tried to leave a comment. Found ONLY subscribers are allowed to comment. Other newspaper articles at least offer a free read for 5 articles a month. Will skip any articles I see by them from now on. Waste of time.

Typical biased liberal media. I swear it seems like they make up most of their "articles" always hiding behind some mysterious "un-named source" Not worth the paper it is printed on. Besides - who actually reads newspapers in print format anymore?!? Save your money! Don't buy this rag!
