The U.S. Postal Service delivers to 156 million addresses six and even seven days a week. It is consistently rated the most-trusted federal agency by the public, and it handles an astonishing 47 percent of the world’s mail.

Yet misinformation exists about the Postal Service, often creeping into media commentary, such as a Washington Examiner op-ed that ran May 22. Liam Sigaud not only mischaracterized the overall situation at the USPS, but also sought to use the agency’s recent quarterly financial report to make a political argument for downgrading postal services provided to the American public.
