So then. wealthy person can just buy good press for themselves? Why would that be a good thing?

The snowflake is the person who quit in a huff.

This is what happens when everyone gets a participation trophy.

So then you are hyper focused on personal values regarding recreational kids athletics but you don’t have any sense of ethics regarding a free press and the role that serves in a free society. How does a person end up like that?

This type of shaming has stopped working. People are sick of your crap.

Poor widdle billionaires. We hurt their feewings and made them ashamed.
So sad 😭

It's not sad, it's just ineffective. Carry on though.

God, another traitorous trumpanzee weakling. That faux masculinity is pathetic. The political cartoonist has more testosterone than your average conservative “man” will ever have.

In case you haven’t realized most employees aren’t free to insult their employer without consequences.

What we are trying to explain is that ethical owners do not influence their staff. Why are you going to bat for billionaires that want to keep you ignorant rather than joining with your fellow citizens who are trying to hold the wealthy to account?

It’s not love for billionaires, it’s zero sympathy for a tantruming cartoonist.

It's not a matter of influencing staff to report inaccurately, but of exercising judgment in what a cartoonist chooses to make fun of and/or criticize in the first place. Making a specific effort to be critical of the boss, instead of writing about any other topic, seems remarkably ill-advised and a display of appallingly bad judgment. There is no special immunity for cartoonists to draw anything which occurs to them.

Tomorrow try this, I want you to either write a letter or make a scathing video criticizing the owner of your company to post on your company website. Run it by your managers and see if they let you do it.

Let us know how it goes.

Bezos is cleaning house at WaPo in an attempt to bring back his credibility. He doesn't care about this cartoon; this is a long term project.

Imagine some internet genius calling Bezos an ineffectual idiot lol.

I don't work at a news org but I actually have worked at agencies where we openly criticized the owners. There is a long history of news org owners not interfering with critical opinions of themselves. This has happened before. It used to be the gold standard. This is not a fantasy. Helooooooo in there......
