Each of those ‘quote marks’ cost several billion dollars.

tnbskts.bsky.social•44 days ago

Why the quotes? Maybe because the paper is owned by an oligarch?

mattallison.bsky.social•44 days ago

WaPo isn’t a serious news outlet anymore.

That is certainly sad, but I’ve moved on and I’m not looking back.

harryrilke.bsky.social•44 days ago

The quotes are Wapo's... nothing in Biden's speech indicated anything other than plain meaning. Did he recommend we honor the "constitution"??

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social•44 days ago

They have to keep their brown nose for the Felon.

“Editorial Decision”

monty18aj.bsky.social•43 days ago

Cancelled my WaPo subscription. Suggest more doing that!

leftaloneinusa.bsky.social•44 days ago

POTUS Biden’s stark final address struck me as CONSEQUENTIAL & FOREBODING as late Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1960s-era WARNING about “the rise of the military-industrial complex‼️”
Biden’s WARNING about a “tech industrial complex” is more ☠️MENACING👺 in DESTROYING DEMOCRACY‼️
#14thNow DQs🥾Trump‼️

leftaloneinusa.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yep, it’s TRANSACTIONAL #TraitorTrump, his #GQP #SeditionCaucus & #Project2025 CONSPIRATORS bent on installing “the ultimate crony FA$CI$T BILLIONAIRE SWAMP OLIGARCHY” to mirror & even outreach Putin’s🇷🇺👺☠️🤑kleptocracy‼️
A convicted felon who led an INSURRECTION is going AGAIN break his OATH‼️
#14thNow‼️

They know perfectly well Bezos is part of this oligarchy.

God damn I'm glad we cancelled our subscription.
Fuck Bezos.
And while I'm at it:
Fuck Zuckerdick
Fuck schMUSK
And, most ESPECIALLY, fuck trump.

notthiskaren.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m so done with WaPo.

bgb1.bsky.social•44 days ago

Wapo is shit. Everyone time to cancel!’

suburbandruid.bsky.social•44 days ago

I think because Wapo is Bezos’s lapdog…

svman.bsky.social•44 days ago

biden unfortunately and most of the dems and absolutely all of the repubes are beholden to money.

inlalaland.bsky.social•44 days ago

WaPo may need to update their banner.

Perhaps...democracy chokes to death on a "beautiful piece of chocolate cake" in a dimly lit Mar-a-lago ballroom.

Jeff can fact check that...right?

experimental22.bsky.social•44 days ago

WaPo is a travesty. It is over.

susucity.bsky.social•43 days ago

Accomplishments ? I think not furry hat.
Four years to get that monster out.
Failure

planechris.bsky.social•44 days ago

Excellent speech!

dolpher.bsky.social•43 days ago

Cuz that's what he said.

jbatterson7.bsky.social•44 days ago

That’s why.

barefootdog.bsky.social•44 days ago

I miss Katherine Graham > bezos

barefootdog.bsky.social•44 days ago

@wapo.bsky.social WTF!!!! COMPLICIT!

palando.bsky.social•44 days ago

Gotta suck up to the boss

mjprieve.bsky.social•44 days ago

Washington Post - the call is coming from inside.

camvogt.bsky.social•44 days ago

They’ll run an op ed soon saying “instead of unity former president Biden sows further division with talks of oligarchy and standing guard for democracy”

aiminghigher11.bsky.social•44 days ago

More proof that “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is their slogan, with the completely opposite intention of what it was meant to be.

missdeemeanor.bsky.social•44 days ago

Bezogarchy? Putzgarchy, Boysgarchy,

nickcoccoma.bsky.social•43 days ago

Only one way to end oligarchy and win a real #democracy:

saltytherapist.bsky.social•44 days ago

We’re already in an oligarchy.

used2balawyer.bsky.social•44 days ago

We’re already there.

ravenna321.bsky.social•44 days ago

Not sure what the endgame is for wapo. I mean, it's probably hemorrhaging money from lost subscriptions and definitely hemorrhaging reporters from its ranks. Does Bezos think his new chum Trump will save the day? Or that MAGA folk will buy enough subscriptions? Tres doubtful.

torrrgo.bsky.social•44 days ago

They aren’t even trying to hide who they are. Bezos doesn’t care about losing subscriptions. It’s like Musk buying Twitter—an Oligarch’s personal legacy media propaganda and disinformation machine. All aspiring oligarchs will soon own their own legacy media company. “Guillotine! Guillotine!”

rnrdiva.bsky.social•44 days ago

@washingtonpost.com is now a rag.

kcox420.bsky.social•44 days ago

Faithfully subscribed for years. Their decision to allow Besos to pull their endorsement for Harris was the last straw for me.

felixlapoubelle.bsky.social•44 days ago

“Headed to oligarchy.” That’s adorable.
