I mean, Washington Post is a paper that caters to a left leaning audience, with a staff that's mostly left wing. Bias is inevitable. Yes, try to adhere to the best journalistic standards you can, but acknowledge your biases. There is no issue with this.
In the UK practically every newspaper openly represents on ideological opinion or another. Only in America do we go with this fiction that there are "newspapers of record" that supposedly have the one and only truth. And we should just get over it.

CNN mocked for airing segment on Trump's soda consumption while NYC face terror attack
An attempted terrorist attack caused massive chaos during Monday morning’s rush hour in New York City, but some CNN viewers could be in the dark because the network spent an inordinate amount of time covering an anti-Trump story about the president’s soda consumption while details of the chaotic situation unfolded.
At 8:45 a.m. ET a law enforcement official told reporters, including the Associated Press, that a man had a pipe bomb strapped to him when it went off on a New York City subway platform. That was roughly the same time that CNN was in the middle of a segment that featured the chyron, “NYT Report: Trump drinks a dozen diet cokes per day,” while a large graphic promoting Tuesday’s Election Night in Alabama took up a significant portion of the screen.
Viewers quickly took notice. Media crisis guru Yossi Gestetner tweeted, “More than an hour after the pipe-bomb story broke, CNN was busy with Trump’s diet Coke,” while another viewer asked, “Why are you talking about this!”
While viewers scrambled to hear the latest news, several people took to Twitter to mock CNN’s programming’s decision. Blogger Ann Althouse noted that the New York Times article that first mentioned Trump’s soda habit came out a few days ago and added, “CNN is hopeless,” after expressing frustration that CNN didn’t offer the live report on the attempted terror attack.
One user wrote, “CNN was talking about the bombshell reporting that @realDonaldTrump drinks 12 diet cokes and watches 4+ hours of TV news per day AFTER the news broke about the bombing in NYC. I kid you not!” while another joked, “We interrupt our story on the suicide bombing in NY subway to update the current tally on President Trump's daily consumption of diet cokes! We now return you to our regular broadcasting!”

the laughs just keep coming....
this doesn't surprise me at all, CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS all belong on the shelves next to the national enquirer at the supermarket.
Their rush to be first, has made them all tied for last
Trump has triggered, so much buffoonery among the liberal left, from college campuses, to coffee shops, to media outlets, political aisles, Hollywood elites.
All have been reduced to living in their own little private bubble of lies and deceit.
Great days to be a Trump supporter,
MAGA baby
This just In::: Trump indicted for living in liberals heads and not paying RENT
C̶N̶N̶ SNN.... Shithole News Network
Trump Is Coming back to a White House Near you

Having an agenda that slants reporting is something the left has accused Fox of for years.
How come they can't seem to accept the notion that Fox news exists because the DEMOCRAT-infested media was so biased?
