[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love these people who claim to care about politics and public policy but won't subscribe to the Post. Apparently you don't care that much! [/quote]

DP. I subscribe to the WSJ, Post and NYTimes. (and Bloomberg!). If the Post doesn’t have decent local news then there is truly no reason for me to keep my subscription. The only thing I will miss is Capitol Weather Gang but I guess I will just follow Matthew Capucci’s socials. [/quote]

+1 there are tons of options. Democracy won’t die in darkness. I’m not subscribing because it used to be good. [/quote]

There's only a handful of news organizations in the entire world that can match the Post. [/quote]

Could not can.  It is crap now.[/quote]

The Post just won two Pulitzer prizes, after winning three the year before that, and three more in the year before that. You people are ridiculous. [/quote]

All these idiots are mad about the editorial pages, which THEY NEVER EVEN READ IN THE FIRST PLACE. [/quote]

Canceling your subscription and, in the process, destroying a newspaper because you're mad about the editorial page that most people completely ignored is just bizarre. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. [/quote]

It's not about the editorial pages, you are missing the point. It's about the loss of local news, sports, and all the other things they have slashed today. I have the NYT and WSJ for national and international news. The Post was the local paper, with good coverage of the business of Washington (the government). Now it is going to just be the business of Washington. I don't need an expensive subscription for that when I can get that elsewhere.

We don't know all the people who were fired today but how many of those Pulitzer winners are still Post reporters? I think you are thinking the Post is the same as what it was a year ago or two years ago. It isn't even close.[/quote]
