Liberalism vs. merit

The WaPo is in dutch with its black employees for promoting a white man to its number 2 editorial post. It's also announced measures it hopes will stop its declining circulation.

Downie told staffers that the paper has made strides to increase newsroom diversity in recent years, and said that of the paper's 30 to 40 top editors, "white males are in the minority." But he said the paper needs to hire more minorities and to improve its coverage of the area's increasingly diverse population.

I could give them a hint, but if they don't know how Fox News became No. 1 in cable news and sometimes beating CBS in the ratings, nothing I can say would help. I would be more likely to read the Washinton Post if I thought there might be more than a predictable liberal spin in its reporting. Apparently, diversity doesn't include political diversity.
