The Santos/fraud situation is bad news for journalism on two grounds, but the Washington Post noticed only one of them.
The Post's coverage highlight's Big Journalism's utter failure to do its job in a timely way even when a smaller news org had blown the whistle on some of Santos' lies weeks before the election.

@dangillmor There is no introspection here on the part of the Washington Post, as to why large media outlets such as themselves are not monitoring the genuine and active local ones. It could be part of a system that rewards strong local reporting. There is no indication here that WaPo plans any changes.
