It saddens me so much that I was unable to renew my recently expired subscription to the WaPo. I feel like I’m missing out on so much quality reporting.
Please let your managers and bosses know how much their position is hurting the paper.
I hope reporting like this -- work that is clearly independent and conducted without fear or favor -- wins back your trust, and your business.
And I will advertise constantly on here that others should do so as well.
In the middle of this growing democratic crisis having a DC Federal news source is beyond vital.
But this attitude also hurts the paper. No institution is perfect. WaPo is not perfect. But my colleagues & I do meaningful work -- that you clearly appreciate (thank you). And I wish we could count on your support.
I truly wish the paper’s owners and editors were not forcing me into this awful decision.
I still subscribe to the NYT despite their Politics section being dreadful. If it were only about Bezos
But Will Lewis is a bridge too far. And then the dozens of reporters who have left both explicitly and implicitly for reasons of principle highlights as well how unconscionable these developments are.
Im NOT trying to put this on
This is an era in which we MUST draw lines. And I’ve seen it directly affect the work in the paper (eg extensive quoting of AEI / Heritage as neutral “experts”). Tell your
(It’s so troubling that this feels deliberate. I’ve made the same choice with NPR).
You betrayed us.
They did nothing to betray you.
It was their ownership and leadership.
Given the realities I don’t blame reporters who keep working there. I just won’t read them.
These journalists deserve our support.
And yes I still have a framed copy of the front page story about my org’s work that ran in the WaPo in the last decade in my office.
No one is safe.
Trump is doing what he said he would, no surprises the country wants this!
lol..ok sure
should be given “a go to Canada option” eh?
I wish we had way more housing so we could realistically have more immigration and refugee capacity.
And are they going back to country of origin or to death camps?
Why can't trump's max effort do the same (without fanfare)?
And why is trump's million-per-year goal being treated as something interesting?
they COULD lie about their numbers like they do with literally EVERYTHING ELSE... but they truly want to remove all POC and they start with the most vulnerable
