[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the reporters had any integrity, they’d resign.

If they stay, they’ve made their choice, too.[/quote]

I feel like the only person who would say that is someone who wants to destroy decent journalism on this country.  Why don’t all the journalists quit, simc all the papers are basically owned by a$$holes?  That would show them!

I agree with PP that’s it’s probably more meaningful to cut your Amazon subscription if you are able.  (I know we are all a little dependent now.). Bezos doesn’t make money from WaPo—it’s a vanity project, and people cutting subscriptions won’t bother him at all.  He’ll just do another round of layoffs.

In some ways, this is the best result.  If WaPo endorsed Harris, everyone would shrug and it would change zero minds.  By bezps overplaying his hand, this is getting a lot of attention—the editorial board is starngkng strong and looks good, and everyone is reminded what is at stake—namely, the risk of electing a president that demands loyalty and punishes those who criticize him, with a billionaire class that does his bidding.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it, America.[/quote]

I can only assume you’re being willfully obtuse.

Of course newspapers are owned by rich egomaniacs. Most businesses are.

He is directly interfering with the newspaper’s content. He overriding editorial decisions. It’s out in the open. The Post had a great, historic run, but it’s done. Those who stay will be complicit.[/quote]
