My home city's newspaper will not get another dime from me.
The #January6thInsurrection was when the brave DC Metro Police were beat trying to save the Capitol with the Cap Police. They could have sat on the sidelines like Jeff Bezos.
Columbia Journalism Review:
WashPost editorials page editor David Shipley OK'ed endorsement of Harris — one week before publisher Will Lewis / Bezos killed it.

Nikolaj:
The Washington Post be like "Democracy dies in darkness and that's good"
@Bix So, my read is that all of these billionaire owners just want to be oligarchs in the new trumpocracy.
@Superstitionsee
I have no idea what #Trump is trying to say here. But, he gets to be our leader if the oligarchs get their way.
@Bix Cancelled my subscription today.
Thank you, Mike.
I did the same thing, it looks like I will look to WAMU / NPR for news of my city.
@Bix We vote every day with our money. Who are we really choosing? 🤔
@Bix Also… ProPublica is worth your consideration
@Bix I recommend The Guardian. They have, for the last couple hundred plus years, done what the Post only gives lip service to.
@Bix Just got rid of my subscription too. 🤬 cowards
@Bix
I used to read the Washington Post obsessively, it was my home town newspaper. I was proud that it coverd the Watergate scandal, & the messy conclusion to the even messier Vietnam War. They had a great editorial section.
No longer. In this age of Trump & gaslighting, WaPo stands for nothing & is a complete waste of time. I'd rather read the City Paper, but I rarely get out there.
@jjGravitas
The #Trump campaign thanks the Washington Post for their support.
What a weird fuckin' sadistic ghoul he is.
The Washington Post also publishing a massive expose of Trump's intent to use the military with permission to use lethal weapons to repress any protests.
So there's that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fuck the oligarchs, Bezos has ruined my city's newspaper.
