snip: On March 26, 2007, Chris Matthews said on his television program, "Well, The Washington Post is not the liberal newspaper it was, Congressman, let me tell you. I have been reading it for years and it is a neocon newspaper".[60]

snip: Responding to criticism of the newspaper's coverage during the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, former Post ombudsman Deborah Howell wrote: "The opinion pages have strong conservative voices; the editorial board includes centrists and conservatives; and there were editorials critical of Obama. Yet opinion was still weighted toward Obama."[63] According to a 2009 publication, in the blogging community, liberal bloggers link to The Washington Post and The New York Times more often than other major newspapers; however, conservative bloggers also link predominantly to liberal newspapers.[64]

In January 2014, the Post announced that liberal columnist Ezra Klein was going to leave the newspaper together with Dylan Matthews and another journalist to establish the new news site Vox.[65] Also in January 2014, the Post announced a partnership with the conservative-libertarian blog The Volokh Conspiracy and started hosting the blog on its website.[66][67]
