Dunno; maybe because its fronted by the world's richest man, treats its workers badly, and has a bunch of sweet deals with the CIA? Or maybe it's because Bezos owns a rival paper.

I think the Times is awful, venal, half tabloid, and generally doesn't go after the powerful enough, but I don't think they look at WaPo as 'rivals.' They're basically the same thing, owned by a different set of oligarchs.
