The juxtaposition of the Democracy Dies in Darkness header and hosting the book tour of the guy who encouraged Capitol insurrectionists is too much. 
The @washingtonpost then presents a fawning bio that Hawley's publicist presumably sent them ("a leading champion in Congress for working families") while skipping over the whole insurrectionist/voting to overturn the election thing.

Hawley's twitter feed is full of complaints about how the media and tech giants are trying to censor him. And yet, the newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos is giving Hawley the most flattering platform to hawk his book.
The contradiction between Hawley's complaints about his views being suppressed and his ubiquity on media is not something Hawley will address if raised. Instead, he characterizes any such objection as a further effort to suppress his views (H/T to @MartinPengelly)
This thread caught on, and seeing some people say they will cancel their WaPo subscription.
I won't.
Media companies, like any big orgs, have many different parts and not everyone is on the same page. The value of the WaPo reporting is terrific and worth supporting.
