I note that the article was linked here already, but here you go: https://kniferights.org/legislative-update/wapo/

The WaPo reporter never exactly lied, but he also never quite told the whole truth. To some that's an art form that allows them to escape libel, while biasing the story the way they want. To those of us who prefer our news reasonably truthful and somewhat balanced, it is annoying.

As an example, as noted, he said the knife I carried was illegal to carry concealed, which, indeed, it is. He didn't lie. That this info is irrelevant to telling the story and is there just to lead an ignorant reader to the wrong conclusion is just a tad bit dishonest.

The article above notes some of the more major issues, there were many others. If it was easy, anyone would do it. Such is the advocacy game when you are successful enough to attract the attention of the big dogs. It beats being unsuccessful, at least most days. wink

It was bound to be a hit piece, given the paper's political leanings and the sordid track record of the reporter, the only question was to what degree.

We can only hope he ends up as successful as the WSJ reporter who set me down the path to founding Knife Rights in the first place: https://kniferights.org/legislative-update/knife-rights-was-born-10-years-ago-today/

Thanks to you all for you kind words and support.
