Most editors considered the ''Washington Free Beacon'' to have become generally reliable during the editorship of [[Eliana Johnson]]. However, some editors consider it a [[Wikipedia:PARTISAN|partisan source]]. All editors should be aware that the ''Free Beacon'' sometimes publishes satirical or humorous articles which should be distinguished from their usual journalistic work. Some editors found articles by Andrew Stiles (''The Stiles Section'') generally unreliable.
