Considering the owner of the org - not surprising.
That’s trickle down for ya.

it's that delay tactic, wait until someone says it won't cost a job or a leg or a life and THEN they'll release it.
Is there a code of at WaPo?

Geez, I wonder why people hate professional journalists so much
Condescending horseshit
My journalism days were spent slogging through long hours on a small weekly paper. I routinely broke stories because I spent time building community connections.
The "big city" paper would then redo my work and call it their scoop, and local TV would follow suit.
Also, the news you reported demonstrates an employment recruiter rule of thumb: if the Musk Rat claims a person is qualified for a job, presume the exact opposite. #TeslaTakedown
your professionalism exceeds the grace this amoral publication deserves.
Go for it 🌹
