This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation.

1) Had WaPo ever before killed a Telnaes cartoon because of such repetition with an Op-Ed? Ever?
2) Given the sensitivity around independence of the press generally and the WaPo specifically, really, you want to kill this cartoon just to avoid being mildly repetitive? Really? Now?
I’ll stick with “craven bullshit.”

So… they had a previously scheduled repetition. 🤔

this also treats her like a noob — she’s been doing this a very long time and knows the ins and outs of the biz

3rd time’s a charm. Please add an editing button. I’m really not as stupid as my typing skills indicate.
What’s next? An inaugural re-enactment road show?
Well, patriotic Americans will stand up for him anyway.
Simply put: I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
If they really think their readers are that stupid, I'm not sure how they expected them to figure out sending them money to begin with.
I'm one of the 200,000+ that ended their subscriptions to the post. And was delighted simply to be able now to read four of their best in the Atlantic.

Yet again Mainstream media is scared of Trump! And can’t handle the truth about itself

“An Ann Telnaes’ Cartoon is worth 1,000 words.”

Looking back. Political cartoons are often repetitive to what’s written in the editorials. Sometimes for days in a row. Go figure.

"Not EVERY word from Trump is a lie."
"Not EVERY billionaire is a psychopath."
"Not EVERY idea RFK, Jr has is batshit crazy."
"Not EVERY Musk tweet is dumbass/Nazi-humping."
and...
"Not EVERY WaPo editorial decision is malign."
Hey, there's always exceptions.
Repetition is LITERALLY THE JOB OF JOURNALISM WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT ISNT BEING ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY!!!!
is the result of a malign force"
sounds like a line form a fucking
Oliver Stone movie doesn't it?
"Can I get a number?" 😊
I would love to see another wave of patriots cancel their WP subscription for cause.
Americans believe in the 1A - Republicans don't.
In this case, integrity is doing the RIGHT thing when EVERYONE is watching...
Independent media is going to have to re-establish a Fourth Estate
Wapo now has ZERO credibility
No one should believe what they publish, and *everyone* should wonder what they're *not* publishing, as they work to hide the truth from America and the world
It's dead
Ths is an outrage. There should be a special place in Hell for media moguls who foster the oligarchy and rule by authoritarians. Uh, Hell is an oligarchy, probably they'd be on Satans bord of directors.
SEND THEM BACK TO #Xitter
of the free press.

Democracy dies by the rich.
We should eat the nasty rich like they're an invasive species.
If money is the only thing that speaks, collectively, OUR money can speak louder than any oligarch.

A fast food franchise owner gave his staff in 3 of his stores the morning off to vote. He closed until 1pm. His staff had a paid hoilday for those hours. As a franchise owner he also gladly paid a fine to the main group for closing. I go to his place once a week and treat my coworkers.
It feels like tacit approval... And we don't.
They're a newspaper, not cable TV, their audience is not marginally literate old people, it's the educated elite, who're the only ones still reading newspapers.
Is this just Bezos protecting his USG contracts? Then sell the WaPo.
They're doing quality work:

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is the official slogan of the American newspaper The Washington Post.
They just have a problem with people who comment on the groveling (?).
Hmmm.
Yet another reason to tax the oligarchs.
What did you expect?
SHE could have added TIM COOK
HE CANNOT STAND JAN 20
And you would guess the world would revolt right?
Republican tax cuts.
Not upsetting the apple cart to scrubbing that goal is standard operating procedure with these American Oligarchs,
Capitalism isn’t freedom, it shifted wealth from a king, to landed elites that government protects.
If a group started a local paper, they would be met with government intimidation. Period

I have seen literally dozens of posts almost exactly like yours and only one (1) had even one word about what to do and the one post that did had useless generic advice
They will only publish what benefits the global corporate parasite cartel, 100% of the time, without regard to truth or morals.
Can 2025 be the year that we stop pretending to be shocked and move the discussion towards alternative, independent news sources?
It's a pretty egotistical and extreme response especially as she also only *thinks* her cartoon wasn't published because of who it portrays... I've seen the cartoon and it's not that cutting tbh....
remember that contemptible cartoon where the Obama’s were depicted as terrorist
Then he left us.
I would call that oligarchy.
Media continues to kill itself. This is not Russia shame on Washington Post for censoring the truth.
It's a propaganda rag now.

Ann Telnaes has savaged Trump for years (fairly, with nothing more than he deserved), and no malignant narcisssist likes that. Instead, he wants revenge and "retribution".
