Statement: This theory singles out current Executive Editor Downie for abuse, but complacency took root as early as 1981, when the Post 's cross-town competitor, the Washington Star , folded, allowing the fat beast to diddle all it wanted without paying a price. Choices:  1. Downie comes across very well according to this theory which suggests that complacency didn't take hold until after he left in 1995. 2. While this theory lays some blame on Downie, the issue may date all the way back to 1981. 3. This theory is particularly unfair to Downie because he worked hard to change the culture at the newspaper.
