- The $175.3T figure in the Treasury report is not the U.S. government’s “true debt.” It is an infinite-horizon social-insurance funding gap, and Treasury explicitly says such amounts are not liabilities in an accounting context.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post
- This address is wrong. After the sale, The Post kept leasing space in its longtime headquarters at 1150 15th Street NW, not “1150 L Street NW.”
- This Pulitzer total is out of date. The Post’s own official “Our Pulitzers” page now lists category totals that add up to 77 prizes.
- This understates the scale of the layoffs. Reporting at the time said more than 300 newsroom employees alone were cut, plus additional staff on the business side.
- This overstates the cuts. Reporting said sports and books desks were being ended only “in their current form,” with some sports reporters retained; The Post’s own print-edition guide still lists Sports and Sunday Book World sections.
