Just a few days ago, Washington Post management triggered the "journalist" world by laying off at least one-third of the paper's staff. Some of the workers who had been laid off later were baffled by how layoffs work after their key cards no longer worked and they couldn't access their company computers.
Despite the layoffs, a certain amount of hackery was still allowed to continue. One recent example was when a Post headline tried to give off the impression that JD Vance's motorcade was responsible for a figure skater almost missing her event at the Olympics, but as usual the actual reason was buried in the story:
The Washington Post is claiming that JD Vance’s motorcade caused a U.S. athlete to nearly miss her event.

But if you look past the headline, the article clearly states she was “running late because she hadn’t gathered her gear on time.” https://t.co/M47TXaJNwq pic.twitter.com/Atj9QDF8wH
And just like that, the Post is at it again.
This time the story is about President Trump withdrawing National Guard troops from L.A., Chicago and Portland. WaPo said the move was finalized late last month with no public acknowledgement from the administration:
Breaking news: The Trump administration has quietly withdrawn National Guard troops from Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland.

The pullout was finalized late last month with no public acknowledgment from the White House or the Pentagon. https://t.co/IL5LHeeal3
We now again see how the "MSM/Dem/Narrative" circle of life happens. The Post got quickly busted and ended up deleting the post. As you can see above the post is no longer on X and has been replaced over a lack of journalism:
Correction: National Guard troops withdrew from 3 cities with no public acknowledgment, other than a Trump social media post weeks earlier that announced the move. An earlier post, below, failed to note Trump’s post and has been deleted.

As usual though, the original will get far more mileage than the "updated" version.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker quickly shared the "fake news" spin to try and make it sound like Trump is suddenly backpedaling and the Dems won't care that it has been memory holed:
For the first time, crickets from Donald Trump.

After losing in court multiple times to Illinois and other states, the National Guard was finally quietly pulled out of our streets.
The pressure is working, and we’ve got to keep at it. https://t.co/EemescNZ6z
Nice try, Big Fella, but Trump made that announcement weeks ago:
WaPo says they have "breaking news" and "no public acknowledgement from the White House" about an announcement the President made HIMSELF over a month ago.... 🤡🤡🤡 https://t.co/5bn7zSNV3O pic.twitter.com/uzMEoekSa0

It's just the Washington Post doing Washington Post-style things... still.
