This isn't the worst article of the election cycle from a major newspaper, but it surely deserves some kind of award for "worst application of data journalism":

But what is definitely true is that the quality at the Washington Post has taken a nose dive. They often post click-bait headlines with thin articles that are first to market but now often contain mistakes or misinformation.
The Washington Post used to be one of the most trusted papers in the country, with long wordy articles, that appeared later than others but were able to give you the whole story rather than just knee jerk early reactions.
It always had a liberal/democrat bias. But not quite this bad and not quite for one specific candidate over others.
