  The Washington Post (march) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Washington Post" is a patriotic march composed by John Philip Sousa in 1889.
In 1889 owners of The Washington Post newspaper requested the then-current leader of the Marine Band to compose a march for the newspaper's essay contest awards ceremony.
It led to a British journalist dubbing him "The March King." Sousa is honored in the Washington Post building for his contribution to the newspaper and his country.

 The Washington Post - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Washington Post is the largest newspaper in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
In 1954, the Post consolidated its position by acquiring its last morning rival, the Washington Times-Herald, leaving as its remaining competitors two afternoon papers, the Washington Star (Evening Star) (until that paper's demise in 1981) and The Washington Daily News, which was bought and merged into the Star in 1972.
In 1986, Post news coverage was dismissive of a controversial series of articles, by journalist Gary Webb, that had appeared in the San Jose Mercury News, alleging that the CIA knowingly allowed CIA-financed Contra guerrillas in Central America to traffic in crack cocaine in order to raise funds for arms.

 Talk:The Washington Post - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Accordingly, I've moved The Washington Post March to The Washington Post (march).
But certainly this article needs mention of the general perception that the Post is liberal-leaning - although as the New York Times article shows, that sort of discussion can turn into an argument that swamps the whole article.
I am not as confident of any "general perception" or consensus "that the Post is liberal-leaning" as the previous editor, and would propose on the contrary an equally widespread perception of the Post's implication in conservative-corporate power.

 Washington Post March
One of these, the 'Washington Post', organized what was known as the Washington Post Amateur Authors' Association and sponosred an essay contest for school children.
When the new march was plyed by Sousa and the Marine Band, it was enthusiastically received, and within days it became exceptionally popular in Washington.
Sousa's march became identified with the two-step, and it was as famous abroad as it was in the United States.

In three paragraphs in his weekly column (“Was This News for Kids?” March 21) Washington Post Ombudsman Michael Getler again attempts to defend the paper’s general refusal to use the term terrorism to describe Palestinian attacks against Israelis.

Post editors, and I, agree that the devastating attacks in Spain or a bus bombing in Israel are terrorist acts.

 Oh, That Liberal Media: Washington Post Archives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The Washington Post reports that the US is opposing the UN's feeble trotting-out of Commission in Council's clothing, but doesn't bother to explain why the proposal is worse that useless.
In past posts I have complained that the Washington Post's point man on civil rights issues, Darryl Fears, equates civil rights with affirmative action (so that no one who opposes the latter can really support the former) and asserts that what minorities in the U.S. have in common is their victimization.
To put it mildly, the Washington Post is definitely not challenging the prejudices of its readers, who voted about 10 to 1 for Kerry and who presumably share, to about that degree, the support of racial preferences that appear undisguised in the WaPo's news columns as well as editorials.

 'Washington Post' Warriors
Washington is a company town and has its own corps of Kremlinologists who read the Post closely every day for half-hidden clues to official intentions.
As millions marched at home and abroad, it became increasingly difficult to attribute the antiwar uproar to what one columnist ridiculed as the "irrelevant left." Indeed, the Post's media critic, Howard Kurtz, discerned a general trend in the media toward more aggressive and skeptical reporting.
The Post's institutional discomfort was confirmed on February 27 in a long, semiconfessional editorial that respectfully acknowledged the angry dissenters and attempted once again to justify the march to war, but with less imperious certainty.

 AIM Press Release - The Washington Post Whitewash - March 30, 2005
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Post damaged its reputation today by printing a story defending the paper's use of a dubious memo of unknown authorship and origin.
In a case that is coming to resemble the CBS "Memogate" scandal, Kurtz mounts a defense by quoting Post reporter Mike Allen and various anonymous sources as now saying that the document was "unofficial" and "a sheet of paper" and that a Democratic Party Senate official even refused to "publicly" discuss its origin.
The Washington Post and other media outlets who reported on this bogus memo need to admit their error.

BASHUR AIRFIELD, Iraq, March 27 -- U.S. military aircraft carrying troops and tons of vehicles, ammunition and weapons flowed into this airfield tonight, reinforcing a northern front established by the 173rd Airborne Brigade in the war against President Saddam Hussein's government.
Kurdish officials have declared themselves part of the coalition fighting to oust Hussein, but the role of up to 60,000 fighters from the two rival groups controlling the northern region is shrouded in secrecy.
Hoshyar Zubari, an official of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, cautioned against expecting a quick transfer of Kurdish militias from their defensive posts in the northern autonomous zone to offensive positions.

 Rep. James Moran: ADL Letter to The Washington Post
Note: This letter was published in The Washington Post on March 15, 2003.
Richard Cohen gets it wrong when he suggests that Rep. James P. Moran merely overreacted in suggesting that the Jewish community was responsible for the U.S. military buildup against Saddam Hussein, and holds the power to reverse it ("Offensive - but not Anti-Semitic, March 13").
The heinous charge that Jews are more loyal to Israel and have undue influence in power is pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism.

 The Washington Post March
In September of 1889, the then-fledgling Columbia Phonograph Company, headquartered in Washington, D.C., approached John Philip Sousa, conductor of the U.S. Marine Band and the foremost composer of martial music, to make cylinders for the company.
At the time, cylinders could not be pressed in bulk: instead, the band played in front of a battery of cutting machines, and when the performance was complete, the cylinders were removed, new blanks inserted and the whole process repeated.
This piece, written by Sousa to commemorate winners of an essay contest sponsored by the Washington Post newspaper, is the earliest known cylinder of the Marine Band still in existence.

 Washington Post - March 31, 2003
IRBIL, Iraq, March 31 -- Commanders of the 173rd Airborne Brigade scouted potential base locations in this key Kurdish city today, and said moving the 2,000-man unit here from Bashur airfield would position the force to begin hit-and-run operations in northern Iraq.
But with that plan rendered impossible because of opposition by the Turkish government, U.S. officials said the presence of the 173rd should keep Iraqi forces in the north and prevent them from falling back for the defense of Baghdad.
Briefing reporters in Washington, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke began her remarks today by saying that U.S. forces "are approaching Baghdad from the North, the South and the West."
