When even The Washington Post quietly shelves its partisan fact-checking shop, you know the brand damage ran deeper than they admitted.

Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post’s longtime “fact checker,” is out, taking a buyout with no replacement coming. Leadership under Bezos and CEO Will Lewis is reportedly trying to detox the paper’s partisan stench and cut costs. Kessler’s farewell sounded noble, but the timing and silence around a successor says more than the post did.

WASHINGTON POST’S CONTROVERSIAL “FACT CHECKER” EXITS PAPER AMID ANTI-WOKE REBOOT…AND HE ISN’T BEING REPLACED.

The Washington Post’s chief fact checker accepted a buyout and is leaving the newspaper without a replacement.

Owner Jeff Bezos and CEO Will Lewis have taken a slew of recent steps to try and help the paper shed its left-wing reputation.

Glenn Kessler, editor and chief writer of The Fact Checker, announced on Monday that he is leaving the Post, reported Fox News.

‘After more than 27 years at The Washington Post, including almost 15 as The Fact Checker, I will be leaving on July 31, having taken a buyout,’ Kessler said on Facebook.

‘Much as I would have liked to keep scrutinizing politicians in Washington, especially in this era, the financial considerations were impossible to dismiss.’
