[Anonymous]

I've also quit the Washington Post, subscribing no longer. Not paying to watch democracy actually die in darkness.

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

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?

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.

But if said boss was the boss of a “free press,” then yes, I would do that.

The snowflake is the person who quit in a huff.

This is what happens when everyone gets a participation trophy.

Your love for these billionaires is pathetic.

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

Nah, you have a fetish for the likes of Bezos who don’t even know you exist.

I just read the Post article on the Golden Globes.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/movies/2025/01/06/golden-globes-2025-best-moments/

Quote from the article:
“Nikki Glaser lightly jabbed the assembled celebs during her opening monologue. “I’m not here to roast you,” the comedian said, leading into one of the few instances where the ceremony got a little political: “And how could I? You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful. I mean, you could really do anything — except tell the country who to vote for. But it’s okay. You’ll get them next time.””


I watched live and after “you’ll get them next time,” she said “…if there is a next time.”

And the Post decided not to include that last bit. Seems trivial but I’m sure this type of thing is happening all over in their articles, in real news articles. Very sad. I’ve read and depended on the Post entire life.

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 😭

One doesn't become a billionaire based on feelings. The only feelings that have been shown are the cartoonist's pique and the whiney liberal losers failed attempts at humor.

What a dumb cartoon.

Business interests cozying up to the newly elected president and trying curry favor by donating to the inauguration?

That sounds just like….. all recent presidents.

I wonder how this serious journalist covered other recently elected presidents.

You worship billionaires?

Because some chick doesn’t get a silly cartoon published? Let her get a job at Starbucks and provide something of value.

Is this poster actually this stupid or just trolling? What says the group?

DP: Might be someone who didn't think the cartoon was funny. Trump is in the pocket of the rich and Mickey Mouse died. Show me the humor.

… do… you think… the point of this satirical cartoon… is to be funny? Is that, what you believe, is the purpose of this cartoon…?

It died a long long time ago with the WaPo.

This isn’t a partisan issue. Or perhaps you think you are part of “team billionaire”. I mean, it’s anonymous here, I suppose you could be a secret billionaire, defending “your people”. Is that it? Are you a billionaire?
Because if you are not, you’ve twisted yourself around to defend an owner who’s “pique” about a satirical cartoon lead to censoring criticism. Sure, it’s his prerogative. Certainly someone as intelligent as Mr. Bezos had to know that the paper he had purchased would be reporting, and perhaps even be critical of his business.
It’s not easy to take public criticism to be sure. Perhaps having a small prickly oligarchy controlling our media isn’t in any of our best interests.
The artist here did a noble thing. She walked away from steady pay on principle . I’m not sure I would have the fortitude. It’s a shame we have a congress full of elected officials that haven’t been able to show that kind of bravery on our behalf. We are where are today because most people shrug and don’t rock the boat. Good for Ann.
