And thus democracy died in absolute darkness.
In other words… We are a biased opinion page slated to one side as is our paper.
And I’ll continue to not give a shit what WaPo has to say.
Damn shame because I had a WSJ subscription for over 10 years, then cancelled after it was bought.
Then from 2008 till around 2 years ago I had both a WaPo and a NYT subscription.
Thanks for saving me money guys.
„We’re now fascist propoganda“
Dont think Washington post cares about keeping American values.
Yet another thing to make me glad that I cancelled my sub.
>“We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” he declared. “We’ll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
Notably, the night he announced his new directive for the opinion section, Bezos had dinner with Trump.
We voted away our freedom for this.
First honest thing the post has said in a while tbh.
Jeff Bezos does exactly squat to protect personal liberties. If he did, there wouldn’t be a dichotomy of liberal and conservative op-eds at his „paper“. Also, nobody hates free markets more than the uberrich. The argument being made is only for the gullible.
If anything good has come out of this political shift in the US… it’s that the mask is coming off everywhere. No more guessing what true intentions are. Now they tell you to your face whether they think you’re a subhuman or not.
They are writing about free markets calling themself a conservative page while Trump does the opposite of having free markets. Got it
Is this a desperate attempt to stay relevant? Seems like a risky move
Not surprising since this guy wrote a book defending the GWB Administration torture program.
fuck the post
Remember when they refused to endorse anyone after it was clear they were going to endorse Harris and their reason was something like “Newspapers shouldn’t offer endorsements, we don’t want to have points of view, we just want to tell the truth.”
Yeah… about that…
Lmao at anyone who supports Trump saying they value free markets and personal liberties.
Cancel Prime. Shop locally.
This is exhibit A why conglomerate owned media should be illegal. For any corp or private enterprise in the business of news, they should be legally barred from having any other business interest because otherwise incentives are not going to stay aligned. Trump’s leverage over WaPo and others always goes through appeals to other business interests or mergers which require regulatory approval.
I haven’t trusted them since Bezos bought them. Damn lizard person
*Democracy Dies in Darkness*
Indeed it does.
He means fascist
Thiessen is still a piece of shit, and he always will be.
Now he’s got more turds in the sewer to keep him company.
Now?? Mate, you’ve been that way for **years**.
So… Nothing from the Washington Post can ever be considered credible news ever again.
Thanks, Thiesson. You’ve likely performed the one and only good public service of your life by letting us know.
Billionaire owned newspaper-turned-rag sides with the party of billionaires. I am shocked, absolutely shocked by this development.
Endless primal screaming
Also Marc Theissen looks like a baby who became an adult without growing up
Who didn’t know this already? Anybody? Anybody? Hard to find a media outlet that isn’t right wing now. After billionaires have bought them all up and installed their own „independent“ editors and journalists. LOL
So…propoganda?
They aren’t discussing the merits of a question or regulation, just spewing right wing talking points?
The oligarchs keep on winning.
We should’ve never let Bezos buy the Post. Talk about destroying a legacy.
Unsubscribed a year ago.
I cancelled my subscription the other day when they ran an article arguing that Trump deserved the novel peace prize.
Don’t buy anything from Amz
Democracy Died in Darkness
We need some white hat hackers to change their motto to „We let democracy die in darkness“
I guess today’s Post would have kept the lid on Watergate…
>“We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,”
Which is to say, „We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of giving billionaires more power at the expense of the populace and will be couching that support in empty rhetoric about ‚personal liberties‘ so the sucker poors can carry our water for us.“
Yes I know. That’s why I canceled my subscription and now give that money to someone else
If you ever wanted to know why business needs to be regulated and why the extremely wealthy should be prevented from buying up all the major media outlets, this shit is why.
This is all from Jeff Bezos.
