[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hilarious that all these people are canceling their subscriptions to the Post to protest Bezos, but those same people would never ever cancel their subscription to Amazon. Bezos doesn't make a dime from the Post. It's been losing money for years. [/quote]

Cancel your subscription to Amazon, p*ssies. Don't take it out on the reporters who are just trying to tell you what is happening in your world. [/quote]

Again, you can do two things at once: Cancel your subscription to a paper increasingly devoted to propping up the desires of the administration and, at the same time, stop ordering from Amazon. [/quote]

Yes, the editorial page got more conservative but the Washington Post itself, the news pages, is not -- in any way, shape or form -- trying to prop up the desires of the administration. The news section, which is the section everyone cares about and actually reads, is strictly nonpartisan. [/quote]

NP. I would say the news stories still lean left. Look at the coverage of ICE/the shootings in Minneapolis, for example. No one can say with a straight face those are pro-Trump stories. And the sections cut this time really have nothing to do with politics. [/quote]

The editorials are listed on the front page of their website, and I end up clicking on them. And they are noxious and weird. Apropos of nothing, they have an editorial today on Americans Have Gotten Richer. It's pure propaganda with cherry picked data to try to convince people not to believe their own reality. You want to support that? I agree it's not the whole paper, but more and more. They had an article on sparky bomber jackets for Maga ladies where they made the observation that "Maga has taken a shine to sequins, lately." Is bezos' wife running the budget meetings? Come on man.
