The Washington Post has come under fire from critics who allege its ads on X are politically skewed in amplifying pro-Harris and anti-Trump content.

In recent weeks, conservatives have shared screenshots of posts from the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper of articles that were being monetized as ads.

One was an excerpt from an op-ed by President Biden touting his court reform proposal, with the quote, "We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power. We can and must restore the public's faith in the Supreme Court. We can and must strengthen the guardrails of democracy."

"Is the @washingtonpost going to register with the FEC to run ads like this?" GOP strategist Matt Whitlock asked. "What is this ridiculous promotion of Biden’s desperate and stupid court-packing plan? You can’t even argue this is good for WaPo business because a boring op-ed isn’t driving new subscribers."

JD Vance's "rocky debut" as former President Trump's running mate with the post reading, "JD Vance has had a challenging start as the GOP's vice-presidential nominee, leaving the Trump campaign to try to clean up his controversial past comments."
