To be fair to the Washington Post, the paper bash O’Donnell in the post, but it’s the headline treatment of the two that’s different. Note, both posts are on The Fix blog, with the Hannity one written by Aaron Blake and the O’Donnell one written by Avi Selk.
And Selk did quote an irrefutable source in his piece so we can’t be too mad at him:
