36. So, who wrote the WaPo op-ed? "The Editorial Board". Who are the members?

My sub is fading fast (canceled last year around this time), but honestly I still find SOME of the material at WaPo useful and interesting, so still go there occasionally. (and the comments summary on most important articles usually restores my faith in humanity a little)

So anyway, I wanted to know WHO, exactly, put their imprimatur on this wacked out op-ed. It says "the editorial board". Okay, who are they?

Long story a little shorter, I ended up posting the question in the "About" section and here is the AI response - I kid you not:

Search results
One result for "who is on the Editorial Board?"

* No quick answer
Rephrase your search or add more details to help AI come up with a quick answer.
