A Simple Query, With Clenched Fists

Q: With its revenues hurting and actual reporting jobs being cut, does the Washington Post (whose coverage even its own companies are already lambasting) really need to take the resources to create a "conservative" blog in sole response to right-of-center outrage with the perceived-to-be "liberal" column/blog it currently runs, conceding a point many would (rightfully) spend a lifetime opposing?

A: Sometimes, I hate this industry.
