Political Memes

An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn’t the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.

Beautifully put.

Strong worded letter again. As long as they still come to work tomorrow, Bezos can use them as he likes.

So the endorsement ban publicized their stance even more widely. I don't even know whom any other newspaper endorsed.

Oh that’s good.

I'm having trouble being outraged by a robber-Barron trying to influence American politics by controlling a media outlet, because to do so would imply that that is outside the norm or unusual in some way.

This isn't even recent. We once occupied the Philippines and continue to occupy Guantanamo Bay behind the yellow journalism of rich cunt newspapermen Herst and Pulitzer who were in a competition to out lie each other, that was 1898.

It's not like Bezos is there running anything day to day. Management could ignore him, say OK sure thing boss, and print it anyway. What's he gonna do? Fire them? 🤷

Did WaPo change their byline to this, or is this OP satire?
