The D.C. political class : politics :: MBAs : business. And WaPo is the Harvard Business Review. In that it's often useful, but suffers from the belief that the hoi polloi would be lost without the "professional political class" to tell them what they want, and derisively dismisses ideas that don't originate within certain orthodox circles.

So in other words, a lot like most of the media then. As well as quite a few university students and most politicians.

Most media and politicians have a distinct opinion or slant. I don't think WaPo does. Their MO is more: "Either X or Y might be right, but whatever is right is only right because we tell you it's right."
