It’s no secret that the Washington Post is pretty much all in for Elizabeth Warren and views Bernie Sanders as the devil (at least among the Democratic presidential candidates). But do they really have to make such complete asses of themselves to wage war for Warren?
Apparently the answer is a resounding yes:

Bernie Sanders supporters are posting mean memes about Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic presidential candidates on Facebook, and that’s and wreaking havoc on the Democratic Party. That’s what’s hurting society. Stuff like feeding into existing biases and inflaming public passions just didn’t happen before Facebook came along and ruined everything.
Yes the Washington Post never publishes emotionally driven content to attract users. https://t.co/TzEHxbqjKe

The Washington Post, of course, is innocent of confirming biases, sharpening divisions, and elevating the glib visual logic of memes over reasoned discussion. pic.twitter.com/VHLC8IF3EY

WaPo doesn’t like anyone else using their divisive “reporting” model?

Guess not.
Facebook is their competition. Facebook is user-driven. You are their competition. Which is why they hate Facebook, and by default, you.

"Experts who study political speech on facebook" Can you imagine a bigger waste of your time?

Well, to be fair, Washington Post journalists have repeatedly demonstrated that their time isn’t actually all that valuable.
"I Found something here. This 72-year-old Floridian is saying that Obama is a secret muslim and the person below him is telling them to go fuck themselves in all caps and replying with a meme of Trump doggy style on Putin.

Democracy dies in darkness, but if we don’t like what people say, bring on the darkness.
A simple REEEEEE would suffice.
