Great post thank you

It’s not a profession anymore.

To many owners of media outlets, journalism is not a thing, much less a profession w values or ethics or professional standards.
They're simply selling writers'/TV hosts' words on paper or on TV, to consumers. In whatever way they feel like or can make $ off of, or can gain advantages from.

bezos is worth 250 billion and still has to kiss the fat maga ass...what a worthless human being, kudos to his wife, I wish she would buy the wapo from him. Unsubscribing from wapo today.

The Post embarrasses itself on practically a daily basis now. It’s no wonder journalists can’t leave fast enough. Sad to see an institution like it self destruct.

And it begins

It’s a shame to see a paper with as storied and courageous history as the WAPO going down the drain.

Bezos is a coward.

Never been a fan of Telnaes, but I am now. So sad that there have been so few demonstrations of courage like hers in this, our time of troubles.

I let my subscription to the Post expire last month. Like another commenter said, now I wish I could let it expire again.

Character matters.

I canceled WAPO after Bezos killed the endorsement of Vice President Harris. You make me wish I could cancel again. Brava!!
