NYT is also SJW newspaper at this point so it won’t be better.

Huh? The NYT is the newspaper of record in the United States. There's no better publication.

Pro-tip: Failing to parrot your biases doesn't make the paper "SJW."

Besides, facts have a well-known liberal bias.

Here’s a link to article about this, posted at 11 tonight and on today’s front page. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/06/02/sally-buzbee-washington-post-steps-down/

I miss the Post I began reading in the 90s when I moved here after college, and am concerned about this corporate shift, especially in the months before the election.

Have you all forgotten that it was the WSJ that broke the Stormy Daniels story? Whatever you think of its editorials, their journalism is solid.

You do know that the WSJ talks about exchanging money for goods and services among the common folk.

There were days I couldn’t tell if I was reading the Post or The Onion. By fall of 2020 they ran out of actual racists to write about so they had to get creative. Parks were now racist, sidewalks were racist, fishing was racist. We cancelled. It’s just all too much.

This is exactly why the NYT sucks now because of arrogant people like you. Democrats are not much better at following evidence and facts and in comparison to Republicans. Most people only accept the “facts” when it is consistent with their underlying beliefs and very few people objectively evaluate things anymore. Almost everyone lives in an internet rabbit hole at this point and social media algorithms are reinforcing this ridiculous partisanship where everyone is increasingly disconnected from reality.

That motto was introduced under Bezos. Y’all are crazy.

I have always hated the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” tagline and would be thrilled to see that go.

Isn’t the newspaper going bankrupt? They have to do something different.

The Grey Lady is over, too. Recently cancelled my subscription in favor of WSJ and Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is excellent. I also like the Financial Times. WSJ is mostly bad though.

I stick to financial journalism for news because they are just focused on reporting because the money guys need the facts to inform their investment decisions and their time is valuable.

I’m a Democrat, a long time Post reader, and the WP is lucky to be getting a WSJ editor. No one writes news better than the reporters at WSJ. Crisp, succinct, who what when where why. The WP had been awful for years and desperately needs new leadership. Get rid of the fluff and go back to hard news.

It used to be a good newspaper. Maybe it can be again.

No.

We live in the US not in propagandaville.

Now the Post is garbage.

Just like Epoch times
Chief Financial Officer Of Multinational Media Company Charged With Participating In Scheme To Launder At Least $67 Million In Fraud Proceeds

Surprise surprised another RW GARBAGE PROPAGANDA criminality....

The problem with the Post is obviously a lack of management control. They had the best newspaper editor in the country and they hated his guts because he only wanted them to high quality work, while the staff apparently wanted to produce content that competes with Refinery29 or Gawker. Marty Baron eventually had enough, the staff won, Bezos laid off all of the editors who knew what a newspaper was because they had high salaries and now the inmates are running the asylum.
