Scoop: The Washington Post recently—and quietly—removed its "Democracy Dies in Darkness" slogan from the opening sequence of its app, a notable change given Jeff Bezos once insisted it always appear alongside the logo. It also no longer appears atop its mobile site. https://www.status.news/p/washington-post-slogan-democracy-dies-darkness

"In a democracy, the Washington Post dies in darkness."
I remember during the first term, WaPo made articles about Trump free because of how important they thought it was to keep everyone informed.
Guess now they think it's more important that we aren't.
"Democracy dies when spineless shmucks cave in for fear of economic reprisals"
but they figured that one was too long.
PUNISH Bezos = CANCEL Amazon Prime
Used to love it, but it changed completely
Unsubscribed from all emails they've sent me over the years.
If I had a weiner I'd tell Jeff, to his face, to SUCK IT.
You know the assignment?
Laugh a lot!

I understand being upset about Bezos' interference in WaPo's editorial decisions, but getting your news about US politics, economy, and society primarily from The Guardian won't leave you very informed.
I guess « God save America »is the last hope because it won’t be saved by « We, the people ».
"Welcome To The Darkness"
Bezos is Trump Vomit.
Big fucking deal!
Journalism is no longer the focus of the @washingtonpost.com . Pandering to Trump to get Bezos enriching government contracts and even lower taxes is what it's all about now.
"Keep Democracy in Darkness"
Mr. Bezos insists Darkness is good for Democracy. Truthiness is dangerous for oligarchs. 👊☠️🤑!
Democracy is dying in bright daylight right before your eyes.
