[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]R.I.P. WaPo.  Was going to subscribe now that they were going to focus on factual news instead of far leftist rag material, but they abandoned that idea.  Down the tubes WaPo continues to go. [/quote]

They abandoned the idea of hiring a guy who paid someone to use a phony accent to find out which British celebrities had reserved Maybachs in advance -- not exactly hard-hitting "factual news." [/quote]

Blah blah blah.  Meanwhile WaPo readership and subscription numbers are tanking.  Keep doublign down on your stupid news.  The public isn't dumb and doesn't want to read partisan and biased hack news from sources like WaPo.  [/quote]

Ironically, their steep decline lines up with their pivot to the middle (right at this point). [/quote]

Their decline is made entirely of butthurt lefties leaving as the paper tries to save itself by remembering that journalism has no bias.

Libs have long since been the only people who assigned the WP any credibility, and they were it’s only readership, moderates and conservatives having long ago given up on the Post.

Its current readership is composed entirely of leftists who aren’t looking for information but rather affirmation of their own bias. They want an echo chamber not a newspaper. Leftists who despise objectivity are the ones leaving now. [/quote]
Phase 1 was the paper losing subscribers as it turned itself into the newspaper version of MSNBC and cultivating a smaller subscriber base of committed lefties.

Phase 2 is losing these leftie subscribers as they try to right the ship.

Phase 3 is the hope that they can repair their reputation and win back the old subscriber base that they lost. Most likely it’s too late. [/quote]

Phase 4, bankruptcy and sale of assets because the previous subscribers aren’t going to be fooled into coming back. They realized they could find unbiased news content from other sources and don’t need  WaPo anymore.

Bye bye WaPo [/quote]
