[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, why are “personal liberties” and “free markets” bad things and why does everyone here hate this so much?

Explain it to me like I’m 5 years old.

Because I don’t understand why these are bad things. What’s wrong with a newspaper editorial page that advocates for personal freedoms? What is wrong with free markets? Is a state-controlled economy more desirable? Have any of you who are upset about this actually lived anywhere with a state controlled economy?

I just don’t get the outrage here. Please help explain it to me? [/quote]

It's not the topics he picked (for me, at least) it's him controlling what the paper will be allowed to publish. That directly undermines the integrity of the paper. A newspaper is not his personal blog.

I feel bad for the WaPo, which continues to do some great journalism with the few resources they have left. I had put off unsubscribing until today (I already quit Prime in response to some other Bezos nonsense) but this was the line for me. [/quote]
