Every time the space weather forecast says we might get auroras, we get clouds. But last night we got a real show. I cried a bit. It was wonderful. Existence is fucking cool and weird. At one moment, it was edging close to scary-- I felt a strange fear in me, primal, illogical, strange. The flickering was that of electric fires. We could see the curve of the Earth from our vantage, I felt lucky to be so small.

The Washington Post drew heavy criticism Tuesday for its fact check of the first night of the Democratic National Convention. Democrats attacked Republican nominee Donald Trump throughout the evening, but many critics argued Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler tried to draw a false equivalency between the former president's lies and some of the statements made by speakers during Monday's event. "Wow," said journalist Judd Legum. "The Washington Post 'fact check' of night 1 of the DNC is embarrassing." Kessler rounded up 12 claims made from the stage in Chicago that he felt lacked context, but many readers felt that he focused too narrowly on specific words Trump had used and the implied meaning of those statements, as characterized by Democrats. "This kind of 'fact-checking' is an artifact of the collision between Trump's politics of lying and elite media's business-model-driven bothsidesism," said Talking Points Memo founder Josh Marshall. "The two things are obviously categorically different. But the need to jam them into one model creates nonsense like this."

I'm so glad that others in the media noticed this. It was frustrating reading the WaPo's "fact check" of the first night of the DNC.

In his attempt to get more readers for The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos hired William Lewis (from Murdoch's WSJ) as CEO. As a result, the once great newspaper that produced the Watergate investigation, is now reduced to giving its readers mediocre, if not misleading "fact checks."
