Deference To Alito The Real Reason WaPo Sat On Flag Story

Despite its “Democracy Dies in Darkness” motto, WaPo created its own darkness by keeping Justice Alito’s flag story under wraps. The New York Times published two gigantic stories about insurrection-supporting flags flying at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s house, even as Jan. 6-related cases were pending before the court. The first article was published on May 16, 2024, the second on May 24, 2024. On May 25, The Washington Post revealed it had known about Alito’s upside-down flag since January 2021 but had decided against reporting on it, ostensibly because it was not clear that the flag was really meant to signal support for MAGA “Stop the Steal” election deniers. The Post decided not to report on the episode at the time because the flag-raising appeared to be the work of [wife] Martha-Ann Alito, rather than the justice, and connected to a dispute with her neighbors, a Post spokeswoman said.
