Is it possible to Gut the Washington Post from the inside out and have 60-70% of the journalist pivot to creating a new newspaper called the Washington Journal. There has to be software engineers that can build the infrastructure quickly so everyone can move in unison! Worth a try!

#Bezos will take the history and legacy of the #WashingtonPost down the drain with him.

For a somewhat smart guy, he still hasn't figured out the reverse Midas touch that #Trumpsterfire has: that everything he has touched has turned to 💩 (except E. Jean Carroll & Stormy Daniels). He is a disaster.

And when he bought the WP, he promised to keep the editorial integrity in place and stay the hell away from it. You can’t trust a billionaire with a media house.

What, “Riveting storytelling for all of America” wasn't selling subscriptions fast enough?

sisterunity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is it Because he wants to suck up Or is it because he actually subscribes to these awful notions himself??
As the Third richest man in the world I don't think he needs to suck up. So......

themostcialist.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’ll end up in a concentration camp when they’re done with him. Dumbass.

bluefolk.bsky.social•1 day ago

I cancelled long ago.

Because he's rich and he can. It feels more and more like a game show each day, doesn't it? Reality TV. Brought to you by proud sponsors the White House 2025 Inc.

Boycott Amazon while you're at it

photographermark.bsky.social•1 day ago

I proudly cancelled my subscription just the other day, in response to the new WaPo editorial bias. Not only that, but I'll be curtailing my Amazon spending dramatically (there are almost always fair alternatives that I'd rather support). And Whole Foods will just be a distant memory...

ajkitch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, that's one streaming service I won't be renewing this year.

tiadee1031.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is income from WAPO as much as he stands to make with tax cuts? The fact that they sink SS he will no longer have to match 💲? The fact he will likely make out extremely well if they privatize the Postal Svc? Plus, he knows this government will likely be permanent unless we, the people, do some shit

dyingbreed.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s not in WaPo for the $. It bleeds money, not profitable. If he could sell it he would, but the only buyers right now would be a pro-truth group led by Kara Swisher. If Bezos sold to them, he’d land on Trump’s/Musk’s enemies list and FOR SOME REASON that appears to be a fate worse than death.

mattjlawlor.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s part of the club, in other words.

jonsky.bsky.social•17 hours ago

In the new republic, billionaire ownership of media platforms will be banned.

jonsky.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I terminated my subscription in the first round and I hope it sinks completely soon

Dear Mr. Elias,

I’m Zach Kahn, a Charlotte resident working to get Senator Thom Tillis to hold a town hall. We’ve launched a petition to push for accountability. Would Democracy Docket be interested in amplifying this effort?

Best,

lessafetoday08.bsky.social•1 day ago

He'll pay for it. Trump wants loyalty but he doesn't give it as they all will find out.

markirakaufman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bezos needs to sit down and watch one of my favorite movies. He needs to understand how it became great in the first place.

yo-vinny.bsky.social•1 day ago

I canceled

blueview1972.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuck Bezos, Suckberg, Muskrot, and Murdoch

caseyjoyjoy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I fucking love to see it

alissa914.bsky.social•1 day ago

If Bezos has all that money to waste and lose, maybe he could just pay all the taxes and stop taking tax breaks? Far less stressful for him that way.

iamntx.bsky.social•1 day ago

And other than you, who do u suggest?

putzmanmusing.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why are people either afraid of him or desire to be in his good graces? he is a nobody in the big picture, a tree in a forest and people want to hug the tree so tight they get bark in their teeth...

lonelyvoicesays.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cancelled mine last week. Had been meaning to do it anyway, but the latest affront made me do it immediately.

memothecomicstrip.bsky.social•1 day ago

he wants it killed bc it was one of the places that reported truthfully during term 1. no mystery why he's killing it. it's revenge from T and sport for Bezos.

Good. Bezos bends down to FOTUS47, his name falls in the worst WAPO owner in history!!

melagenda.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lots of people going to go down with a sinking ship that is barely afloat on the wrong side of history. There will be no coming back for these people. They will not be forgiven.

eileenmont.bsky.social•1 day ago

Imagine doing this for money when you already have nearly all the money in the world.

dyingbreed.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s not doing this for money Eileen. Yet again my hypothesis proves true, any post that starts with the word “Imagine” is misguided.

frankri504.bsky.social•1 day ago

How I wish his ex wife took ove that newspaper

beverlymann19.bsky.social•1 day ago

It would be great if she did, now, buying it from him. But, highly unlikely.

frankri504.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wouldn’t take much for her to tell him to give it up
I believe she still has his ear and attention.
He did love her , i believe he still has respect for her

A billionaire that eagerly screws everyone to add a 14th home?
I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked.

luperca25.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wish these rich guys would find their balls and stand up to trump.

itis1968.bsky.social•15 hours ago

This feels like the beginning of state run media; from dictating which outlet is allowed to cover Washington politics to acceptable “opinion” publishable so as not to offend his Royal assness. What in the hell is going on and why aren’t more of us in the streets ?

defiantlygay.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bezos is no Zelensky.

lisamikels2.bsky.social•1 day ago

Boycott them

roxannebeach.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I'm also curious as to how bad of a hit Amazon has taken.

del8t.bsky.social•1 day ago

The problem is that he has all the money needed to sustain the paper without subscriptions.. in fact he'll call that an investment for more riches.

jmilton5.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bezos is destroying what’s left of the newspaper business.

johnzande.bsky.social•1 day ago

He doesn’t care. It started as charity. It’s now a mouthpiece, which costs, but not that much for the $bang

flightsofancy.bsky.social•1 day ago

He supports it, otherwise he could just sell the paper

cyncoci.bsky.social•1 day ago

Canceled my subscription the first time. So many American institutions are failing.

searching4serenity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because he’s a greedy coward who is afraid to stand tall! Depraved like dt

thewhiterose42.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed! NPR is being defunded because they threaten trump’s lies with journalistic integrity. Please donate if you can. I have no personal affiliation with NPR. They have produced vetted news reporting, multi-disciplined educational and great entertainment,always. Possibly, the last bastion of news!

nidula.bsky.social•1 day ago

GET OFF AMAZON!

deb2468.bsky.social•1 day ago

Tune in to Meidastouch. They are #1 in America and Canada. Good honest reporting. They have a great bunch on their team. A wide selection to get your information. YouTube,substacks, podcast. They are here also along with colleagues Popok to name just one.

All out of fear that a tiny fraction of his disgustingly excessive wealth might be threatened.

President Musk and Jester Trump are going to devour Bezos! Bezos is an ass, he gets what he deserves from them for turning out to be such a huge asshole!
