Are opinion columnists at owner Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post required to publish anti-Trump diatribes according to a quota system?

In a blog post for the Washington Free Beacon, Andrew Stiles on Oct. 18 provided a headline list by columnists since July 2018:

Eugene Robinson (Columnist focusing on politics and culture)

• Our planet is in crisis. We don’t have time for Trump’s foolishness.
• Trump’s rally rhetoric is going to get somebody killed
• The world is burning, and the Trump administration wants to make it worse

Dana Milbank (Op-ed columnist covering national politics)

• Trump’s utter amorality has been exposed
• Trump goes on a bender
• The Trump albatross

EJ Dionne Jr. (Columnist covering national politics)

• The path to autocracy is all too familiar
• Trump is working with the trolls
• Trump lies. And lies. And lies.

Catherine Rampell (Columnist covering economics, public policy, politics and culture)

• Trump could play Scrooge this holiday season
• Some other resonances between Trump and Al Capone
• Three reasons Trump’s new immigration rule should make your blood boil

Karen Tumulty (Columnist covering national politics)

• Trump’s America is a bully, not a beacon
• Trump spreads racism with a fighter pilot’s precision
• Trump’s worst moment since Charlottesville

David Ignatius (Columnist covering foreign affairs)

• Trump sees enemies everywhere. He should look in the mirror.
• What a baby
• Trump just took us another step closer to the abyss

Jonathan Capehart (Opinion writer focusing on the intersection of social and cultural issues and politics)

• I used to be afraid to call Trump a mob boss. Not anymore.
• Yes, Donald Trump, you are a ‘racist’

Helaine Olen (Opinion writer focusing on politics, economics and American life)

• Donald Trump’s grotesque fraud
• Brett Kavanaugh’s lies are part of the Republican ecosystem

Greg Sargent (Opinion writer covering national politics)

• Why is the mob angry? Because Trump is ripping us apart with bigotry and hatred
• Trump’s corruption is staining everything. Now it’s about to stain the Supreme Court.
• Trump’s authoritarian musings are now seen as routine

Paul Waldman (Opinion writer covering politics)

• President Trump brings mafia ethics to the GOP

The Free Beacon’s Stiles noted that “the average Washington Post reader is unlikely to (un-ironically) own a MAGA hat. Maybe this is what customers demand. After all, the Daily Show thrived by placating a certain liberal subset’s lust for affirmation of their moral superiority, especially during the Bush administration. People enjoy content that validates their worldview.”
