This is the headline from the Washington Post Editorial Board this morning.
This is why mainstream media is dying. The headline is bullshit, respectfully.
Texas plunged America into the gerrymandering abyss. Virginia simply responded.
Because I am independent, I'm not afraid to call this out for what it is. Join me: aaronparnas.substack.com

Analysis Summary
The post criticizes a Washington Post editorial on Virginia gerrymandering, arguing that Democrats' redistricting is being unfairly framed while Texas's earlier gerrymander gets a pass. The core claim is accurate โ WaPo's editorial board did cover Virginia redistricting, The Atlantic documented the editorial board's inconsistent treatment of Democratic vs Republican gerrymandering, and Virginia's redistricting scheme was indeed a Democratic power move responding to Texas's earlier actions. The framing omits that both parties have gerrymandered aggressively in this cycle, and that the editorial page's 'rightward turn' is separate from whether Virginia's specific map is fair โ context that would complicate the 'mainstream media is dying' narrative.

โThis is the headline from the Washington Post Editorial Board this morningโ
WaPo editorial board did publish on Virginia gerrymandering; confirmed by multiple search results referencing their coverage.
โTexas plunged America into the gerrymandering abyss. Virginia simply responded.โ
Texas gerrymandering preceded Virginia's redistricting; the framing as 'response' is selective but captures a real dynamic noted in coverage.
โThe Washington Post headline is 'bullshit' / the editorial is misleadingโ
Criticism of WaPo editorial framing; opinion on how the outlet covered the story. The Atlantic itself noted WaPo's 'rightward turn,' suggesting reasonable disagreement exists.
