To be fair, it did suck. Petri wasn’t funny. But the food critic kept it together!
Some articles were unreadable. But the few! OMG, DMV, restaurants, opinions? Worth it!

I only read the Post for Joe Yonan's bean recipes.

DH did. I thought it sucked anyway. Although you will have to tear Amazon Prime from my cold, dead hands.

Where do you buy stuff from now? Are you sure that company does not have a minority shareholder who owns a newspaper that does not endorse candidates for political office? You need to go all in and DIE ON THIS HILL!


I buy off of Buy Nothing.

People actually still shop at Whole Foods? It has declined and continues to decline since Bezos took over. You can do better at any farmer's market or standard supermarkets.


You shop at farmer’s markets? Uh oh.

More of the money at farmer’s markets goes to farmers. You do know who farmers vote for right?


Most of the farmer's markets near me are just re-selling wholesale goods.

No this option ended months ago. Govt employees no longer get the Post free. Nothing is free, can’t you see?


Hmm. I'm reading it for free right now on my government account.

The only people you hurt when you cancel your subscriptions are the journalists. Jeff Bezos won't know or care.

Twitter thread from the LA Times owner's daughter. The non-endorsement was over Israel/Gaza, not Trump or taxes.

Or just PR spin when there was an outcry. People are so gullible. If this was the reason they would have stated it at the outset. Not a week later after a PR crisis.


Again, the woman is a bit of a shall we say lightweight. Could she be draping a flag over a brown shirt? Hmmm


Correct the facts or connect the dots, I don’t care, my ballot is in.

Didn’t her father court Trump to become a health tzar, a role that was tantalizingly close yet no cigar. Health - the space in which they are making billions and presumably want to continue to do so in even more so?

Just wondering. But I get it, this is about Gaza, from a recent convert to the issue? Brilliant. I’m on it. F LAT and WaPo, also women’s rights, right? It any not like women fare much better in Gaza so what gives?

Did this years ago. Target Same Day pickup has been useful too.


Good. Target's CEO is pro life. Thank you.


I don't care. I eat Chic Fil A. I have friends and family who are pro life.

I actually agree that news outlets could stop making endorsements.

But let me know when he pulls an editorial from a major newspaper endorsing a presidential candidate in the 11th hour because of a business deal, then has the audacity to pretend it is about journalistic integrity. We all know that integrity was not the actual reason for the decision. It was a lie and it occurred because of bowing to pressure from a lying cheating person who wants to override the constitution and speaks like a fascist.


You might be that creature yet to be encountered in the wild: an Intelligent Ivanka

This is overblown. At this point 99 percent of voters are decided. I don't know anyone who votes based on what a newspaper says. The Washington Post has been losing money and is no longer a powerful force in American politics. Social media has supplanted print media as the source of news for most people.


Oh yes. Let’s ask your feudal overlord what he thinks. Also why do you even get a vote?

But sticking with WSJ for now.


First, I’d be shocked if you actually read WSJ

Second, if you did, you’d see WSJ’s been spanking your boy pretty hard


True. I subscribe to WSJ, NYT, and used to subscribe to WaPo before last night, and the WSJ newsroom is very much against Trump. It criticizes Trump's economic policies more than it did Biden's or now Harris'.

The coward editors of the WSJ don't like either candidate, but have done their best to stay polite vis-a-vis Trump - they have even gone out of their way to interview him in a very quick session and claim they didn't see dementia during the time they were with him (ha!). They picked their words very carefully for that synopsis . Some WSJ opinion columnists are MAGAs, of course, which is to be expected for iMpaRtiaLity.





New gaslighting by the left is that Trump has dementia (because they are so pissed that they were exposed for defending Biden all these years). I think Trump and Harris should both sit for cognitive tests (something Biden refused to do) as well as an IQ test and release the results.


Pretty sure the vast majority of Democrats would welcome that. Your stable genius will never agree, though, and you know it.


He doesn’t. I heard, don’t know if it’s true, that his frequently spiked diaper may contribute to UTIs which might present as dementia as Succession made everyone learn could be true. Who the f knows, democracy dies in darkness so I no longer can tell.
