WaPost: Not the Same as WaPo.com

The Washington Post
07 Mar 2007

I’ve been thinking of changing the name of this blog to Anonymous Source; as far as I can tell my from my site stats, this blog is as close to anonymity as you can imagine. It’s your loss, of course. Every so often I have something useful to say, and, as it is right now, I’m the only one who knows about it.

For instance, here’s a little bit of trivia for you: The Washington Post, which you may read in its entirety on pressdisplay.com is different from the website washingtonpost.com. Many (I would guess nearly all) political bloggers on both sides of the aisle read wapo.com, and figure they got all the important stuff, so who needs to shell out the $9.95 a month?

“Ah,” as my friend P. Hamlet used to say, “there’s the rub.” Like this blog, the Washington Post occasionally has something useful to say, and you may well miss it on washingtonpost.com.

For instance, I found this graphic on page A6 to be very useful. Yes, there is a link to it on washingtonpost.com, but it’s nothing like the 2 page spread in the Washington Post.

For your convenience, here’s a pressdisplay link that you may find useful above, debunking some of the rightwing talking points we tend to hear.
