Wilkins acquired Hatton's share of the paper in 1894 at Hatton's death. After Wilkins' death in 1903, his sons John and Robert ran the Post for two years before selling it in 1905 to Washington McLean and his son John Roll McLean, owners of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Washington McLean (1816 &ndash 1890 was the owner and publisher of The Cincinnati Enquirer and The Washington Post.

Edward Beale McLean (1889 &ndash 1941 was the publisher and owner of the Washington Post from 1916 until 1933 Ned went to court and broke the trust, but, under his management, the paper slumped toward ruin. It was purchased in a bankruptcy auction in 1933 by a member of the Federal Reserve's board of governors, Eugene Meyer, who restored the paper's health and reputation. Eugene Isaac Meyer ( October 31, 1875 &ndash July 17, 1959) was an American financier public official publisher of the Washington In 1946, Meyer was succeeded as publisher by his son-in-law Philip Graham.

Political stance

Beginning with Richard Nixon,^[6] conservatives have often cited the Post, along with The New York Times, as exemplars of "liberal media bias". Media bias in the United States is the description of systematically non-uniform selection or coverage of news stories in the United States media. As Katharine Graham (the former publisher of the Post) noted in her memoirs Personal History, the paper long had a policy of not making endorsements for presidential candidates.

In 1992, the PBS investigative news program Frontline suggested that the Post had moved to the right in response to its smaller, more conservative rival The Washington Times.

The Moral Majority was a political organization of the United States which had an Agenda of evangelical Christian -oriented political Lobbying And The Washington Times has forced the Post to cover a lot of things that they wouldn't cover if the Times wasn't in existence.
