Critics have accused The Washington Post of having politically biased ads on X that favor pro-Harris and criticize Trump.

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

An excerpt from President Biden's op-ed on his court reform proposal stated, "We must prevent the misuse of presidential power, restore public trust in the Supreme Court, and strengthen the safeguards of democracy."

"Will the Washington Post register with the FEC to run ads like this?" GOP strategist Matt Whitlock queried. "What is this ludicrous advertisement promoting Biden's court-packing plan? You can't even argue that it's beneficial for WaPo business because a tedious op-ed isn't attracting new subscribers."

JD Vance's rocky debut as former President Trump's running mate has been marked by controversy and a need to clean up his past comments.

Donald Trump Jr. responded to a post about Vice President Kamala Harris with a screenshot of a third post that praised her, stating, "Kamala Harris has always been a trailblazer, and her next first could be the presidency."

"The Washington Post is spending thousands of dollars on paid ads attacking JD Vance while also promoting Kamala Harris, which is similar to a Super PAC. The paper should be forced to register with the FEC due to its corruption."

According to a source close to the matter, The Post promotes its high-performing posts as ads, which may be influenced by its far-left readership.

Michael Duncan, a co-host of the ruthless podcast, criticized Vance's claims against Harris in a Post ad fact-checking.

Duncan questioned whether this was not a contribution to her campaign in kind.

Since replacing Joe Biden on the ticket, Kamala Harris' surging poll numbers and media coverage have made Donald Trump increasingly angry. Another ad attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military service claims, using the "Republicans pounce" trope.

Vance himself slammed the Post's ads targeting him and Trump.

"Vance stated on Planet Chronicle that The Washington Post is paying for advertisements attacking him and Trump, which he believes is not the role of a media organization. Instead, it is the work of a SuperPAC. He hopes the FEC will investigate the matter."

Planet Chronicle Digital reached out to The Washington Post for comment.
