What’s ironic is that it was a Black woman that had to clean up the mess at the local WAMU affiliate and they complained all the same and even tried to leak damaging stories about her to ruin her reputation. The local journalists were less respectful of her than how they are now with the white male Post management team.

They need to get really good at writing articles about how awesome Amazon is.

Yeah, firing half the WAMU newsroom in a "pivot to audio" is "cleaning up the mess." Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for proving my point both in the viciousness and ridiculousness. The fact that you criticize a radio station deciding “pivot to audio” is all that needs to be said.

It seems like the only reason why you want the Post to hire diversity in management is because it looks like you’re more comfortable attacking them.

The Post's newsroom seems perfectly comfortable attacking its current management: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/06/06/post-publisher-draws-more-scrutiny-after-newsroom-shakeup/

How pompous and out of touch can staff be to think their internal company politics should be front page news.

Hats off to Buzbee. Management does not tell the newsroom to quash stories.

Completely agree. Lewis is a scumbag. These are dark days ahead for the Post.

Are you seriously going to pretend that the Alito flag story didn’t happen?

She wasn't responsible for that. Fred Ryan, chief of staff for Ronald Reagan (R), was responsible for that. FYI.

NYT News started veering left in 2016. They killed or throttled stories that didn't fit the narrative. Covid lab leak, Hunter Biden laptop, anything negative on Ukraine, etc. while running Trump 24/7 to drive engagement. OpEd page was cleaned of any "incorrect" voices at the same time. Your assertion that Bari Weiss "deserved" to lose her job kind of gives you away, just so you know.

Bari Weiss?

Nice job giving the game away, MAGAturd

The reason a WSJ exec is taking over now is that that paper never committed ritual suicide, and Bezos needs an adult to keep the place from shuttering.

You seem to mistake the NYT editorial page with the news department. The direction of the editorial page under James Bennet was an absolute disaster. He favored being provocative above all. Bari Weiss deserved to lose her job. He also hired Elizabeth Bruenig who also deserved to lose her job.
