I think readers of The Shot will get a lot out of this

This week I left The Washington Post after 40 years, 6 months and 6 days. Today I have a piece in the New Yorker explaining my heart-breaking decision, and including the column that was spiked. I wish I never had to write it. www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

1/2 @davemilbo.bsky.social I was quoted in a WP article on the role of the #AtlasNetwork in: New Zealand's present government (aiming to overturn the Treaty of Waitangi, promoting fossil fuel cancelling clean energy, etc), Project2025 and Heritage Foundation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/07/02/new-zealand-america-moving-trump/

2/2 Brad Lips (yes Lips) CEO of #AtlasNetwork complained, and the article was 'amended' to include his misleading statements & arguably defamatory attacks on my scholarship. I was not informed or offered right of reply. The same is true of complaints made to the ABC and NZTV. (see my pinned post.)

@washingtonpost.com All the 'amendments' inserted in the article above on request of Mr. Lips & #AtlasNetwork were not fair according to your own policy, incl. quoting them saying I am 'irresponsible'.

I request now the right of reply not offered me then.

The line Bezos told editorial page editor David Shipley " if the answer wasn’t ‘hell yes,’ then it had to be ‘no,’ ” I'm sure I have heard it used by another T rumper? Seriously the whole enthusiastic support of T rump is like a cult. Looked up that rejected sketch by Ann Telnaes, so good

You always share the most interesting pieces. I've decided to go without anything that I can't purchase from somewhere other than Amazon.

Almost everything I read these days screams "1930s replay"
