First of all the Washington Post wouldn't know objective truth if it walked up and slapped it in the face, as proven by that embarrassingly biased piece you just linked to.
So do I need to look at the second one. I doubt it.

I guess it must be hell for you to have other opinions heard.
We have never had a time when the major media didn't lie to us. (We once had only three liberal sources of false news on television, and now we have lots of sources of false news to choose from.)
I suggest that you read several newspapers that have different slants on the news, and then give it all a lot of thought. If you did that, you would have a better chance of getting closer to the truth. (And no, as one who has done this for my entire life, I can tell you that you can't hope to get the entire truth,,, no matter how many newspapers you read.)
The fact is that we now have more sources of false news, so it is easier to compare them and make better choices as to what to believe. (Of course, that is harder than just believing the liberal dogma that has been washed into your brain for the last sixty years.

A plane crashes with 100 people on board. 50 die.
One headline reads "50 people die in plane crash".
Another headline reads "50 people survive plane crash".
Which one is post-truth?

To read a title without the content continues the downward spiral of where we are as a society and culture. I don't care what the source is, if I can find information to provide me with perspective on this reality I deem it worthy of my time. That being said, one must be grounded in truth in order to survive the muck of what is being propagated as news. But headlines do not matter. Content matters.
Reading why the Oxford Dictionary word of the year is post-truth is disheartening for sure. The reason the 2nd link was on there is to provide new perspective and hope that we can make it through the loss of truth if we ground ourselves.
It's completely up to you if you choose to seek out more perspective, or remain mired in the muck of judgmental pretension.

I highly doubt you read both links, because they are quite the opposite ends of the spectrum - granted they are more editorials than news. But still. The only way to find truth in news, is to seek as many perspectives as you can, so you possibly may discern truth from the intersections of said perspectives.
Of course, this is nigh impossible these days - when they all regurgitate the same story. Almost verbatim. Sad.
But yes - I want other's perspectives. Not sure that I would put much weight on opinions, semantics, maybe - but difference is crystal, I believe.

Moral relativism runs rampant on these forums. Nothing seems to be objectively wrong, but rather wrong when political enemies do or say things.
Politics would be dead tomorrow if people woke up and viewed their world objectively.

No, it would be because they interviewed a guy who wase in a coma, and got stories that even the guy's wife never dreamed may be true.
So the Post sneaks into the room for five minutes, when no one else is in the room, (And no one knows how or when they got in.), and they get an hours worth of lucid interview, from the guy in a coma.
And when I questioned liberals about it, they told me, "If it is in the Washington Post, it must be true."
Newspapers that make up stories is not a new, or even a dangerous thing, unless the liberals who read the Washington Post, believe everything the are told to believe. Liberals have been so thoroughly brainwashed, that they will believe anything the Major Media, or Hollywood, tells them to believe. (I guess the did learn something in college,,, liberal dogma!)
