The Washington Post and The New York Times published quotes filled with Mr. Scaramucci’s colorful words, though The Post avoided one especially vulgar characterization of Mr. Bannon. The first sentence in BuzzFeed’s article contained, in its full, unasterisked glory, a description of the crude act Mr. Scaramucci had attributed to Mr. Bannon. The Washington Post, which broke the story, censored one of the crudest words Mr. Trump had used to describe how he forced himself on women. Mr. Scaramucci’s language was particularly tricky because it represented not just gratuitous profanity, but personal denigration using crude anatomical references. At The New York Times, editors had a lengthy, raucous discussion about which obscenities to include, and how many.
