Better to replace missing local papers throughout the country. She's already living her best life, she doesn't have to stick it to the ex.

The masthead could read "Hell hath no fury"

lilienfeld1.bsky.social•12 hours ago

And I would hire David Shipley to build it.

guncelawits.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Yes! But also I keep wishing she would give it all to an Amazon workers strike fund.

With every journalist who has had to leave WaPo join her newspaper.

Multi-media, with emphasis on podcasts.

If i were her, I'd just go for an overnight and smother him with a pillow

jkjordaniii.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Bianca Jagger had so many chances.

atomicgiant.bsky.social•14 hours ago

i dunno, though, a reputable dc paper owned by a wom(touches earpiece) and now, retractions and corrections

ginevra.bsky.social•21 hours ago

She could be the best supporter of the City Paper https://washingtoncitypaper.com/

Washington Insider

Yep. Start a newspaper. Maybe even a news channel. And for good measure provide full tuition grants for every HBCU student. I think that last thing would drive trump and the right-wing nuts into their graves. Let's go!

“The Smashington Smost.” I would def subscribe

porterwhite.bsky.social•19 hours ago

As we all know, but it bears repeating, we need good fact based reporting now more than ever.

ac12345.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I mean, she's got the writing chops. This is a fabulous idea!

hcoppola.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Or maybe boost up @51st.news, a weekly Sunday print edition round up could be fun.

velvethydrangea.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I'd call it the Washington Beacon.

cuspis.bsky.social•19 hours ago

There's a new independent paper here that just started, great staff, ready to go.

Spending other people’s money who themselves are spending other people’s money. It’s anti-capitalist inception.

bobidge.bsky.social•19 hours ago

They can call it Washington Post Classic.
Because, just like New Coke, the new Post is irrelevant and will soon be forgotten.

drvon2.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Call it the "Washington Amazon"

bigdamnherossir.bsky.social•19 hours ago

She could buy the Washington Times and turn it around :)

sorrykb.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Start it, then turn it over entirely to a completely independent trust for journalism in the public interest. Put journalists in charge.

tridim.bsky.social•19 hours ago

WP won't survive Bezos' fascism, it'll be real cheap soon, MacKenzie.

rst.bsky.social•19 hours ago

An interesting idea, but she seems to hate publicity. (If not, she'd have it.)

jppow.bsky.social•19 hours ago

You never know! Something tells me her inbox would be filled with resumes.
