Washington Post editors are trying to "both sides" sexual assault??
There's *zero* problem with letting your journalists take the "side" of "sexual assault is bad".
Imagine this for any other crime: "I'm sorry, you tweeted that murder is bad, now we can't let you cover murder"

The discourse about booster shots has been weird lately and this helps explain why: Public health officials are worried it could deter people from getting their 1st and 2nd doses. Understandable, I guess, but I'm tired of their efforts at pop psychology.

One asset that the United States has that China doesn't is that the United States embraces immigration. China issued 1,500 permanent residency cards in 2016, America issued 1.2 million. Think about how many companies in the US are fueled by immigrants or their children.
