Too bad you give the impression of having no morale compass by beingbpublished by the modern day wapo. You seem like a caring journalist maybe go do it at a free press? Your boss Jeff (and the rest of the oligarchs) really would do more for the world as compost than whatever it is they do.

Thanks. I read and enjoyed WaPo for so many years. It’s sad what Jeff Bezos has done to this once great newspaper. When Bezos cancelled the Kamala Harris endorsement, I cancelled my subscription.
Too bad i canceled my subscription after Bezos decided to lick Trumps balls instead.
i'm sure it's a nice article.
i bet the original one, before you had to water it down to not make jeff look bad, not call the inaugural payments "tribute" or "bribes" was really good.
The kicker is that we are experiencing natural disasters that will cost us billions to recover - and these idiots are giving Trump inaugural money to celebrate when 100,000+ people lost everything with floods and fires. No empathy or common sense!
Sorry, Drew. I dropped my subscription to WAPo because of Bezos' alignment with the convicted felon. I posted stories to my feed every day linking to WaPo. No more. Bezos needs to explain himself to his readers. Little late for that actually.
Drew, I honestly feel bad for you and others still managing yo work at WaPo. Nothing you write now will lessen the stink of your paper’s fawning, sane-washed, both-sides, Bezos-thumb-on-the-scales coverage of the election. We ditched our subscriptions and “We’re Not Going Back.”
It’s an utter disgrace; the only thing ppl can do about it is to #BoycottAmazon & the Post. Easier said than done. I canceled my subscription to the Post; but they lured me back w a dollar per month subscription fee, which I will cancel when that deal runs out.
Do a story on how the average Amazon worker gets ground to dust with manual labor until their body gives out and they are discarded.Take pictures of the mountains of piss bottles in Pick and Stow. Illustrate how the machine grinds the indigent for profit while gleefully monopolizing everything.
Need to merge that with the LA Fires article and emphasize how they are funding Fascist pageantry, but not wildfire relief. Taylor Swift and Disney; however, are.
Some are sucking up to him, like Zuck. Others are paying a protection fee not to have their business damaged (Google and Apple). Putting them in the same bucket is dishonest.
I hope someone is digging into the efforts to make the this inauguration crowd the "biggest ever." That shot down the mall has got to be top of mind right now for someone on Trump's team. Or they're just going to AI it and deny the real photos.
This.
There's zero chance that they won't be releasing AI photos of a crowd that is real. None.
They probably already have them ready to roll out to the presses.
@altnps.bsky.social ... have your people been silenced/threatened on this, yet??
I don't do WP anymore but I'm sure you made it sound like nothing nefarious is going on. I don't trust WP and American corporate journalists to be honest.
Great that it's on the front page. But "mend fences"? Really? The billionaires aren't afraid of Trump. They're buying favors like tariff exemptions in the near term, and aiming to overthrow democracy by 2028.

Something stinks 🤔
ALT: Shared photo is of Zuckerberg, Musk & Besos looking up with their tongues out
The current problem is Trump's appointed fascist cranks about to get confirmed.

Duh.
is that a new term for 'kissing someone's a$$ and having an excuse to be the a$$hole i have always wanted to be'?

Surprising that this story slipped through the Besos editorial net.
Maybe consider going to work for someone who isn't actively killing democracy in broad daylight.
