I wouldn't trust WaPo on national political news to save my life now, whereby I used to swear by it. Not crazy about NYT, either. CNN and some factions on MSNBC are suspect, too. I agree that I'm finding info on constitutional violations and court response much better reported on BlueSky, straight from lawyers and law reporter who are posting whole filings and complex legal analysis. For example, Marc Elias BlueSky posts should be considered LBN if they're newsworthy and/or contain one of his editorial or analysis pieces from Democracy Docket.
