Let's see. "Personal liberties," I bet, won't mean freedom of women to make their own decisions about their own bodies. It will mean free run for hate speech, and free interference in politics by billionaires. Just guessing.

Freedom to trash LGBTQ people, non-Christians.

The integrity of The Washington Post's opinion section will be deeply mourned. "Democracy Dies in Darkness," reads the masthead. That includes Jeff Bezos's shadow.

David Shipley, man of good character 🇺🇸
Jeff Bezos, 🪼 💣
WaPo 😔 😟

“Revamps”? Really? Do you extend this level of credulity & unearned generosity of spirit to all the supervillains currently ransacking our democracy, or just this one?

Can it be called an opinion section if only opinions Jeff Bezos approves of are published?

*puts his foot on their throat.

I’m old enough to remember when bezos said he wouldn’t mess with the editorial page. Wapo is only good for local news these days and for lining bird cages.

Bezos has issued the mission statement for American oligarchy.

Personal freedom without any responsibility to your fellow humans is simply selfishness.

I'm a big fan of @npr.org and have been listening to them for about 30 years. So please allow me to tell you that "revamped" in this particular context means "neutered" in regular English.

"Revamps"
Really NPR
Pathetic
And when's the last time you "investigated" anything Mr Folkenflik?

davidfolkenflik.bsky.social•9 hours ago

how long you got?

am-mccarthy.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Scrolling back weeks...not seeing it.
Is it a secret?

Just canceled my digital subscription.

Ditto.

Let me guess, Trump will be the opinions editor.

ratingbook.bsky.social•16 hours ago

"Alexa, tell Jeff Bezos to fuck himself."
"Beep-BOOOOP"

lpeterp.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Could Bezos bow & scrape any LOWER before God Trump?

muttski9999.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Revamps? You suck

cbkaplan3.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Bezos saying that everyone is entitled to his opinion.

bizcochito73.bsky.social•14 hours ago

“Revamp” is quite a choice of word. I’d say gutted, restricted, neutered, slashed, limited, shrunk, decimated

What a shameful thing. It would be, even if Bezos were not mostly interested in *his* personal liberties and markets. We already have one Wall Street Journal editorial page.

I feel like I'm living in the cartoon evil Russia that the McCarthyites used to foment about in the 1950s. All we're missing here is defenestration.

mcpoylesnavy.bsky.social•16 hours ago

You know--if I were worth hundreds of billions of dollars, one of the things I would do would be to invest in a hair-piece that doesn't make me look like Dr. Evil

Blocked.

I believe revamp is pronounced, "destroyed." Why make it sound so banal and trite, NPR?
