Jeff Bezos’ New Washington Post Opinion Section.

REMINDER: Jeff Bezos knows nothing about journalism and paid way more for his yacht than the Washington Post. To him, they are both toys

Jeff Bezos will be censoring progressive opinions at the Washington Post. He says so himself today. So ditch the Post and support independent journalism: Zeteo.com/subscribe

I, for one, am not reassured by the fact the German extreme right only got 20 percent. The acceptable number of German far-rightists is zero. The 1930s taught us that.

A good day for a reminder that independent media needs your support
