When we celebrate an intellectually challenged and dishonest semi-facist leaving a fascist publication, we are in a bad state of affairs. Seriously, have you read the insanely ignorant options she writes?
WaPo is cooked. A shame, because they used to be a fantastic outlet with credible in-depth reporting that wasn’t afraid to hold the corrupt accountable. Had to cancel my subscription when it became clear they’re morphing into plutocratic propaganda.
400 WAPO staffers send letter to Bezos asking him to intervene:
“We are deeply alarmed by recent leadership decisions that have led readers to question the integrity of this institution, broken with a tradition of transparency ...”

I was thinking the same thing. When I think of contrarian, I think of some annoying jerk who just likes to disagree to get under people's skin. Oh well, what's in a name?
I wonder how long it'll be before the compost starts just writing articles and photographs using AI and having suspicious made up names for editorial letters
I cannot help but observe how "The Contrarian" strongly implies that approval of Trump is now mainstream. Screaming ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑟 should be easy, but here we are.
She a spinster?? More homely looking than I thought. Then again, I've only seen her on TV after an entire makeup crew could have at trying to make her presentable.
In the cooking section, you could have someone reporting on the Democracy Sausage (DS). It's Australian. After you vote in person, you can get a DS. It's a bbq'd sausage on a slice of bread, with your choice of fried onion & choice of sauce. Yum.
Bravo Jennifer Rubin!
“I cannot justify remaining at The Post,” she wrote. “Jeff Bezos and his cronies accommodate and enable the most acute threat to American democracy — Donald Trump — at a time when a vibrant free press is more essential than ever to democracy’s survival and capacity to survive.”
Respectfully: that's a very very verrrry wrong characterization of NeverTrumpers. You seem to think Rubin or the Lincoln project idiots had some tangible differences from Trump; they only split from his coalition because they couldn't profit off it
They in no way *stopped being fascist..Rubin has all the same political positions she did in 2012. She merely lost her influence in the party because of orange idiot's realignment . Why would you respect opportunism?
Yeah, she did toe the GQP party line with a lot of energy and determination -- until TFG was nominated.
And she froze. Took at good long look at the GQP nominee. Did a hard 180-turn. And dedicated herself to advocating for democracy from that moment on. Has not slipped once that I've seen.
I don't really know their politics, but what's their feeling on the ongoing apartheid & genocide being perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people? Let's see, as contrarians, if they're willing to call out Israel for their crimes against humanity and for the arrest of Netanyahu.
Do they have a world prospective person. Like what is happening with the allies because of the anti-democratic gov in the US. Especially in regards to Canada and Mexico. If so I will subscribe :)
Smart little people writing smart little columns from their warm little houses and their big retirement nest eggs pretending as if there is a rule of a law or even a basic sense of decency or humanity in the greater American psyche anymore aren’t going to save us.
If only we had some way to form an umbrella organization that could put all these writers together. Share a common platform. Maybe if it took off, we could print a copy on a regular basis (daily, even?) so people could read it offline.
But if you print it offline, that will make it harder for the AI trainers to scrape it for training data, and harder for news aggregators and tiktokers and youtubers to steal and repackage the original reporting for their own content.
The people who can afford to leave the post, will. It will be a slow but constant bleed. The reporters will be left behind to fend of that creep Bezos.
I think such things are a great idea, but they tend to only be read by those of the same ilk. It rarely changes politically opposed minds.

Just like a lot of these #nevertrump Reps, Jen took us right to the waters edge of fascism but stopped before jumping in.
She's no hero, but I respect that move.

Journalists need to step away from the MSM that helped elect trump and start their own media publications and networks.
It turns out such polices have great effect.
Resist
Oppose
🤷🏽♀️
Congratulations on the new venture!
Congratulations on the new venture.
I like Devo as much as the next person,
BUT! there is a limit, ya know.

Congrats on their new “venture”?
But it's awful on economies of scale. WaPo was $10/mo. I'm currently nearing $70/mo with Substack alone.
HMU, I got ideas.
Hmm, might need to reconsider this one.

Most of the real journalist are leaving the billionaire right wing owned mainstream propaganda spreaders!
This is what can bring the USA back to a normal news and factual news outlets!
MTN BTC and many others out there! We need many more!
