Just opened the WaPo daily newsletter (yes I cancelled, but I had already paid for like 11 months, so...) They are not going to maintain their fact check data base on FELON47, despite winning awards on the one from his first term because they are tired and it doesn't matter anyway. #4thEstate - ThreadSky

I recall my 8th grade trip to DC from Toledo. As we toured the city, we were barred from the LoC interior b/c that killer shot from ATPM was being done. Back when WaPo was on the right side of history. Sad to be witnessing the collapse.

I also canceled but am still receiving for many more months; still seeing some good journalism amid the rotten-from-the-head stench. Really rooting for them to find their soul again.

Bezos is on the team...so...

I suspect he'll be the proprietor of the privatized USPS soon.

Call back and demand a refund. They tried, "Ok, we will not renew your subscription on..." I said, "No, I am canceling today to protest Mr. Bezos' actions and I want the rest of my subscription refunded." They then did it. And boycott Amazon/Whole Foods! That, Bezos will feel.

I’m glad I cancelled. Shame on Bezos. And it won’t protect him.

If boredom and futility won't get it done then nothing will.

May I ask you to share which newsletter, so I can get more details? Or even the link to the web version of the newsletter? (if you click on “Read online” in the email version of the newsletter, it should open it in a web browser so you can copy and paste the link)

It was talked about in that Fact Checker email that they send out every Friday. The one with the cat videos that I can't bring myself to unsubscribe from.

norahbee.bsky.social•90 days ago

Why did no one tell me before today that if I signed up for the Fact Checker newsletter that there would be cat videos in it?!
