First, because it's one of the nation's "landmark" papers - one that people from Anchorage to Miami recognize. I like the weight of using the Post. Second, they're a more complete newspaper than the Washington Times. They have stories that you don't find in the Times in areas like sports and science, which is largely what I read in the Post. But to do that I end up at least skimming the headlines on their web site. But the third reason is that as a national newspaper, they're often quoted as an objective news source. I think it's worthwhile to point out the cases I see when they are biased beyond the normal biases that you'd expect out of human beings. I generally link to the Post for three reasons.

It's normally so objective, and all. Don't forget, Jimmie, you have <b>two</b> hometown papers, and the other one doesn't have the liberal bias you keep complaining about. In fact, based on the fact that you link exclusively to the Post for Washington news, and never the Times, one would have to assume that you just want stories you can rail about....
