Holy shit. Jeff Bezos is turning the Washington Post editorial page into.... the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

One could potentially discuss the economic power of a boycott but yah - billionaires shouldn’t own newspapers.

drsnit.bsky.social•2 days ago

Edited - billionaires should not exist at all

Apparently now "Democracy dies with The Washington Post"!

In reality, we're like... 2-3 months away from WaPo publishing "Why We Need To Bring Back Slurs"

This sounds terrible for Musk, Trump, and Republicans. They support curtailing personal liberties, such as the freedom to not be pregnant, and support corrupt crony capitalism, in which you have to bribe Trump/Musk to do business ... the antithesis of free markets. https://bsky.app/profile/maxtani.bsky.social/post/3lj3md3vc222a

They do, but those things are only for them and their billionaire friends and ilk.

Oligarchs must have the freedom and liberty to defund Medicare and social security!

I'm submitting my article "Women Should Control Their Own Healthcare Decisions" to the WP

I'm sure it'll fit within the new rules just fine 👍

Lina Kahn should have at least a weekly column on any editorial page advocating for free markets

colleenski.bsky.social•2 days ago

And how can markets truly be free when they are controlled by the oligarchs? And how can conflicts of interest between oligarchs and government shape free markets?

Very glad I cancelled my subscription to this digital rag

viraldonutz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right after "The Evils of Tarriffs and Trade Protections" and "Actually, Authoritarianism is Bad" think pieces.

Totally holding my breath.

veryrealbatman.bsky.social•2 days ago

I was going to say this is definitely both of those things in the Orwellian sense.

boatmatears.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ll be canceling my subscription today

anotherben.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow, you held out after they weren’t allowed to endorse a candidate they endorsed because their oligarchical owner said “no”?

realdeal64.bsky.social•2 days ago

People have the right not to subscribe AND to not shop Amazon. I do both, every single day.

The ownership class is about 5 or 6 months away from arguing that people should have the "freedom" to sell themselves into slavery

marinovic.bsky.social•2 days ago

Open borders are an issue of personal freedom and needed for a free market. Tariffs work against a free market. Looking forward to these new anti tariff pro immigration op eds

And how about those tariffs?
So much for free markets.

missrevo.bsky.social•1 day ago

I haven’t looked at (nor read) the Washington Post for years. Actually, ever since bezos bought it. We do have choices.

Can we start calling him Jeff Bozos? Lex Loser? And use the picture of his penis rocket instead of him?

And if we have to show fElon, let's make it doing the sieg heil.

And it's Suckerberg/Cuckerberg from now on, with that photo of him on his surfboard and white face.

avicea.bsky.social•2 days ago

Amen.

rbretired.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s funny that nobody cared when Bezos was on the Democrat side. He must be seeing the light. He must understand how much money he’s losing every day as well.
