The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Washington Post editorial board comes out against releasing the Epstein files, dismisses them as having no public interest (how they know this without seeing them first is a mystery) and praises the lone 'no' vote against their release from Clay Higgins

Edited to add:

I do not have a subscription to the Washington Post. If I tried to include the editorial or op-ed, I would run into the paper's paywall.

If Adam Johnson's assertion is misleading or incorrect, I'll delete the post.
