The Washington Post is an American daily newspaper based in Washington, D.C., founded in 1877. In our feed the United States dominates by a very wide margin, followed by Iran, Russia, Israel, China, Ukraine and Venezuela. Politics makes up about half of the output, with governance the largest subject, then diplomacy and military affairs. Its headlines are consistently skeptical of Donald Trump and critical of his administration's policies, and neutral toward Venezuela.
The Washington Post's headlines are consistently skeptical of Donald Trump and critical of the United States government under him, in every measured month, with a tone the data reads as critical but not uniformly hostile. Distancing verbs such as "claims" and "says" frame his statements as unverified, and contradictions, legal fights and costs are foregrounded. Jeffrey Epstein draws the sharpest treatment, Iran critical treatment, and Venezuela neutral reporting. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
The Washington Post was founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. It is owned by Jeff Bezos through his holding company Nash Holdings.
