Another devastating loss for the Post. They are crumbling before our eyes.

Scoop: Washington Post editor Ruth Marcus says she’s resigning after a column on Jeff Bezos’s Wall Street Journal-like opinion pivot was rejected by Will Lewis

Boycott the WaPo, the new Pravda.

It is a loss for all of us. But good for Ruth Marcus.

The NYT has lost the incredible Paul Krugman by aggressively editing his columns and pressuring him towards what he says was “false equivalence”. That story is being ignored.
I would argue Krugman is an even bigger loss given he was one of the few experts telling the truth about our amazing economy

As it should, when it has become worthless. We need to lift up those institutions that will replace them. @wired.com and @propublica.org and others.

All part of Bezos's Cowardice.

Musk destroys X. Bezos destroys WaPo. NYT is pointless and Murdock now owns enough media to flood American with his white supremacist authoritarianism.

Sometime the elite structures need to go down before everyone realizes we are in a world of hurt

Another reason to consider dumping/shunning Amazon: Motherfucker Jeff Bezos is keeping NBC's "Apprentice" LIE alive.
NBC KNOWINGLY marketed a failed businessman/criminal con man/unhinged narcissist/sexual predator.
Now Bezos is doing it, too:

Just like our democracy.

When are we getting a Jeff Bezos documentary? This dude is a cautionary tale--gained the world and lost his soul. Lost a gem like Mackenzie Scott and gained a plastic poseur. Like man, what are you doing? Where is the self-awareness? He's weak, a bad joke, a stereotype, and a mark. Sucks to suck.

Most pathetic thing ever: a multi-billionaire who obeys in advance and destroys democratic institutions for his family, friends, country.

He’s not “obeying”, he just supports Trump, entirely by choice.

hilde45.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seems plausible, though he left the paper alone for long enough for me to wonder why -- if you're right -- he didn't change the paper earlier on. Honest question, not trying to snark.

I can think of two explanations. Until recently, open support for fascism looked really bad so you had to keep a low profile.

And secondly, I think he self-radicalized over time. Just like Musk and others in the super-rich bubble

hilde45.bsky.social•1 day ago

You've convinced me. Looking at Amazon's practices as a factual backdrop, your argument is very strong. Thanks.

“Dangerously eroded” is doing a lot of work here.

usnthem.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's already finished tbh. No one with any self-esteem and talent will stay, and most longtime readers are gone or will be shortly. Bezos is getting the flaming pile of shit he desires. Congratulations, Jeff!

A phone-hacking degenerate backed by a brain-dead billionaire to whom the Post is worth less than some original Picasso he picked up at auction.

I am starting to think that new fiance/wife went to the same KGB school as Melania. Just my honest opinion of course...wouldn't want to accuse anyone of anything.

fuk the post and nyt. these legacy big money types have chosen the side they want to fight for

patrickrcrotty.bsky.social•1 day ago

As a credible journalistic institution, the Washington Post is dead and buried.

Correction, they have already crumbled. Because seriously, what is left? Nothing
