#WashingtonPost’s opinion editor, #DavidShipley, is exiting as #JeffBezos said the section’s focus would narrow to defend “personal liberties & free markets.”

“I am of America & for America, & proud to be so,” #Bezos said, in an email to employees. “Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm & everywhere else.

The #Press must take steps to not become complicit in disseminating #Trump's constant #disinformation / #misinformation. He'll just double-down if you let him. The Press needs to correct him, in real time, right after he spews out his BS, and then proceed to a follow-up question. He needs to be challenged live, on the air, so his minions can watch it all play out on TV
