This. I'm glad he's concentrating on other writing.

I'm not a fan of Weingarten in general, but this piece isn't a self-pity piece; ïf you actually read it, it's a totally legitimate, accurate takedown of the Washington Post under Bezos and how he's ruining what was a great paper.

Honestly, it’s both.

He has such an overwrought way with words that unwelcomely and embarrassingly insists upon itself.
