The collapse of the Washington Post over the last three months has been surreal. I thought I could just wait for the news coverage to get back to normal, but now they are basically rooting for Nazis. I can't support that.
Yet you'll still have "democrats" on here, with a completely straight face, going "don't you know how hard it is for Big Journalistic Institutions to protect themselves from legal action? We must be understanding and the status quo must not change. Journalists are heroes!"
Right. If you are keeping Trump editors and executives viable by producing work they can claim as examples of actual journalism to keep people on the hook, what are you actually doing? They still write the Trumpy headlines that will be the entirety of “news” for thousands more than read your story.
This was beyond egregious. Chatting with (well, listening to) acquaintances of mine who support 45/47, they already spoke of this with chuckles, and dismissed it as a misstep due to excitement..
"Over exhuberance"
WAPO did a nice job of supporting their gaslighting
Come on WaPo, you can call PewDiePie a fascist for doing cringe sketch comedy dressed as a Nazi, but you can't call out Musk doing Nazi things in real life?
Herr Hitler's statement that "everything is German from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea" was an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm and deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The Washington Post is pathetic. It’s hard to believe that it was a reliable newspaper of facts prior to the orange monster, taking over our country. Millions of bright people, and obviously millions of dummies chose a grifter sociopath to take over our country
While this can be read as 'sane washing' - I applaud PBS for reporting on how the gesture, and in fact the cruelty, of the moment is being interpreted by a large part of the country
Was it ironic? Was it not? Were we not in on the 'joke'?
Douglas Adams and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with Gods Final Message to his Creation in 30 foot tall fiery letters applies here -
"Sorry About The Inconvenience"
The rampaging teenage gang is now wrecking the USA for fun.!
Like the Bullingdon Club elite no morals, no decency , just rampant egomania with no restraint!
Bad boy Elon had a lot of get up & when he aspired to be number one, number one. But after years of living in hope, & just between us, his countless "let's be natural" fascist stunts, he nevertheless remains piggy in the middle between Trump and Vance. Ouch!

Here's me, NOT regretting cancelling my 30+ year subscription to WaPo.

wait.
But if you're talented enough to work for WaPo or NYT, you're talented enough to make a more moral choice of employer.
"But then who will be left to the Important Serious Work?!'
Baby, your problem was thinking they ever did any at all.
Who am I kidding?
They’re not leaving after four years…

Welcome to the age of Kayfabe
Yes, this has always been the base. Yes, we have always been gaslighted into not seeing it for what it is

It's gonna be bleak.
Obviously you can't, unfortunately, but the rest of us should.
