The Washington Post has got a thing for Ben Shapiro. Or, rather, a thing for sliming him.
Earlier this week, WaPo published garbage person Talia Lavin’s garbage hit job smearing Ben Shapiro as a far-right Islamophobe who deserves to be lumped in with alt-right, neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists. Apparently, the fallout from that sickening spectacle wasn’t enough to teach them that character assassination is wrong, because yesterday, they were back at it with an “analysis” from Ishaan Tharoor.
Read this thread about the abject dishonesty from @washingtonpost attacking @benshapiro. They’re insane. https://t.co/IvbKQM5U4e

“Insane” is far too kind a word for what they are.

Is writing “critics say” or “others suggested” supposed to make what Tharoor is doing less defamatory?
Here's the link to this dishonest smear from @ishaantharoor, trying to suggest that I'm a secretive Richard Spencer type https://t.co/7xx1WwLBnR

I write an entire book — a book which hit #1 on every national bestseller list, and which has been on the NYT list for a month — about why Western civilization is about fundamental principles, not race, and WaPo prints two separate pieces suggesting that's not what I mean.

This sort of dishonesty is supremely tiresome.

If you want to read my take on Western civilization, Judeo-Christian values, and Greek teleology, I have good news for you, @WashingtonPost: just check your own bestseller list and click the link. https://t.co/5xxT67KKj6

If you read my book, you will find these characterizations of Richard Spencer: "racist cretin" (p. xxii) and "execrable" (p. 208). Clearly I'm a devotee of his ideology. Dumbassery of the highest order, here, @washingtonpost.

We’d expect nothing less from the brave firefighters devoted to saving democracy from darkness.
You need to fix this @washingtonpost You are essentially the guy that calls everyone that doesn’t swim in your pool a nazi.

This is embarrassing @washingtonpost

The implication here that @benshapiro mourning the loss of Norte Dame and what it stood for is also somehow anti-Semitic or a dogwhistle for Jewish persecution is as perverse as it is ridiculous. https://t.co/JNNUQoqxLn

I disagree with you on a lot Ben, but this WaPo clip is an attempt to poison the well against you.

I love the "Others suggested…" reference. Who exactly are these "Others"? If i want to write a lazy, shoddy hit job i can find "others" to say whatever i want if I just know where to look.
