Oh, I misread. I thought it said Washington Post.
That sort of thing can be quite confusing, as there is no standard name for a decent paper in different cities. In New York, it is the Times that is the most respectable paper, but in DC, it is the Post. (That is, The New York Times is the respectable local paper in New York, and The Washington Post is the respectable local paper in DC.)
