It screams garbage.

The Washington Post began trying out a new mission statement this week: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.” It comes amid turmoil in the newsroom.

The problem with journalism for years has been that the “riveting story” is more important than the truth.

The new Nation Enquirer… because inquiring minds want to know…. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Did nobody ever question the spelling?

Of course now.

Not sure how the Post can reach “all of America” when so many people do not or can not read on the first place.

Maybe try supermarket stands so “they” can see the pictures.

"Storytelling"? So, fairy tales?

Storytelling is usually found in the fiction section.

Apparently, it no longer gives a shit about democracy.

I guess democracy died. In darkness.

I guess when democracy died, they needed a new bit.

The OG BS NYT reports on neo-BS WaPo:
"Riveting Storytelling" for all!
Investigative journalism is passé.
Stories are where the clicks are.
So stories for all--Q-Anoners, Nazis, racists, authoritarians, psychopaths, the stupid & (excuse redundancy) all MAGA will enjoy our "stories," facts be damned.
