[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are right-wingers going to start reading the Post after Bezos drives all the sane people away? Who does Bezos think his propaganda is going to influence?[/quote]

Maybe just normal people will start reading it again. [/quote]

“Normal people” haven’t read the WaPo in the last 25 years. Or the NYT. Or the WSJ. Etc. I’m 51 and grew up among small town Southern conservatives and even my liberal yankee wealthy white collar professional family, who were not “normal people,”  didn’t read these, as far back as the 80s. Most of the town didn’t go to college and worked in the local manufacturing, and the DEFINATELY did’t read these. Come on, man.

This is like saying Trump is in charge of the Kennedy Center and now “normal people” will return. The KC was always mostly NOVA, DC and MoCo.    Ask the KC subscriptions department how that’s going for them. Apparently, “normal people” from flyover states aren’t making the pilgrimage to attend the Trump Center. Last I read, the Stuttgart Ballet was looking at cancelling because shows were booked at 8%-14% capacity. I dropped our dance subscription.  And before this, these shows were filled (at least on Sunday, which is when our subscription was). [/quote]
