Another last gasp…

Katherine Graham, the brave owner of The Washington Post during the #Nixon vengeance spree, is the subject of a new feature documentary, "Becoming Katharine Graham", which just premiered at the Kennedy Center!

Meanwhile we have a White House tyrant who makes Nixon look like a saint and now controls the KC, a #WaPo billionaire owner who obeyed in advance to the tyrant and owns the company that produced the film.

Jeff Bezos couldn't hold a candle to Katharine Graham.

Quite the irony that this new doc "Becoming Katharine Graham" is streaming on Jeff Bezos' Amazon Prime Video.

One more piece for The Washington Post to be ashamed of.

If you don’t have the balls to run a newspaper, don’t.

P.S. Fuck you Marc A. Thiessen.

There Are No More Redlines

When Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post almost 12 years ago, he went out of his way to assuage fears that he would turn the paper into his personal mouthpiece. “The values of The Post do not need changing,” he wrote at the time. “The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners.” For much of his tenure, Bezos kept that promise. On Wednesday, he betrayed it.

I'd hate to abandon the many talented journalists doing such a vital work in the newsroom of the Washington Post. At the same time, I feel a moral duty to immediately cancel my subscription.
Ironically, the personal liberties and the free markets that Bezos decided to champion so vehemently give consumers like you and me the last word and, ultimately, considerable power, should a sufficient number of us choose to exercise it.

“Jeff Bezos is muzzling the Washington Post’s opinion section. That’s a death knell” writes Margaret Sullivan in @guardian.
“Bezos no longer wants to own an independent news organization. He wants a megaphone and a political tool that will benefit his own commercial interests.
It’s appalling. And, if you care about the role of the press in America’s democracy, it’s tragic.”

Dying in Darkness: Jeff Bezos Turns Out the Lights in the Washington Post’s Opinion Section https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/02/26/jeff-bezos-washington-post-opinion-00206330 "Between The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg and The Economist, there’s no shortage of outlets that are organized around a generally pro-market editorial line. For that matter, there’s the Washington Post. Do you recall the publication editorializing against the free market? Me neither." #WaPo #Bezos #Amazon #media #USPol

Now that you are grieving about #JeffBezos & the #WashingtonPost:

How about taking the opportunity to start a #reader-owned #newspaper #cooperative or an #audience-owned #media cooperative!?

Plenty of examples exist; several of them in #Germany alone.

I'd very much be interested to partake.

Jeff Stein, Dave Jorgenson en alle journalisten en medewerkers zouden solidair moeten zijn met David Shipley en Ann Telnaes, en ontslag moeten nemen. Je kunt onmogelijk staande houden dat als Jeff Bezos zich maar niet met jouw kleine aandeel in #WaPo bemoeit, het verder ok is en je 'gewoon' je werk kan blijven doen. #FuckBezos #journalistiek #media #oligarchy

Voortaan mogen op de opiniepagina alleen nog artikelen verschijnen die "de pijlers persoonlijke vrijheden en de vrije markt ondersteunen of verdedigen".

"Today, Jeff Bezos, the second richest person in America, who bought the Washington Post in 2013, announced that the paper’s opinion section would henceforth focus on defending “personal liberties and free markets.”

Anything inconsistent with this view would not be published. “Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”

The Post’s opinion editor, David Shipley, promptly resigned, as he should."

Mind you the #WaPo has a whole different pov about the definition of 'criminal migrant' that DOES NOT INCLUDE the human scum we hired to destabilize their respective governments then imported when they failed.

A side-effect of having USDS listed in my LinkedIn bio right now is journalists keep asking me to talk with them. I just heard from a reporter at #WashingtonPost. This is what I told him.
#WaPo #journalism #politics #USPol
WaPo does some amazing journalism, but the decision to kill the Harris endorsement and the (literal and metaphorical) fact that Bezos was in the front seat at Trump's inauguration means I can't work with you or anyone from your paper. There were other problems with WaPo before, but those were really the last nails in the coffin. Regardless of how good your personal reporting is, your employer is in league with the fascists. Take care.
#journalism #politics #uspol #washingtonpost #wapo

I think Bezos bought the WaPo, saw only the title of the book, 'All the President's Men', and took those four words as advice for him in a second Trump term. /s

Seriously though, I feel the absence of that revered institution, now that it's become the paper of apology and misdirection, and no longer of investigative journalism in politics.

“We are deeply alarmed by recent #leadership decisions that have led readers to question the integrity of this institution, broken with a tradition of #transparency, and prompted some of our most distinguished colleagues to leave, with more departures imminent,… This is about retaining our competitive edge, restoring trust that has been lost, and re-establishing a relationship with leadership based on open #communication,”

“The Post lost 250,000 #subscribers, or 10% of its #subscription base, following its decision not to endorse. This reportedly was a massive contributor to the paper losing a whopping $100m in 2024,”

"I promised to cut your car insurance in half. This is the insurance of a brave police officer."

Snip.
