Every time I see the name "The Guardian", John, I remember the way it benefitted from Mikileaks and then the dump it gave to Julian Assange, contributing largely to his current situation. Not a name I will ever respect again.
I didn't say that the WH approved its publication in the sens of giving explicit permission after review or conversation, though that is of course possible.
"it is approved of by the WH," can also mean that wapo is confident it will not lead to any punishment from the WH in terms of access. In other words, wapo knows the WH is OK with it without having to obtain review approval, which functionally equivalent to knowing without having to ask that it is approved of.
"approved by the WH", probably not.
approved by Bezos, definitely.
"The Duran" this morning was talking about how stories about Ukraine are disappearing -- especially from the Guardian. So, yeah, the blob.
