  2. Huh. Who could have possibly imagined that the washington post has completely bent the knee to the fascist regime. I was so sure the Kamila story being pulled and replaced with a trump blowie was a one time thing. /s

  7. looking at the USA from the Outside, it just looks dismal, pessimistic, nothing is good or happy about it anymore, everything is going the wrong direction, the country is dying…and to think , it’s only been less than a month .. scary edit, I just watched on TUBI the 2020 documentary on Trump “Unfit” now I’m more depressed than ever!

  8. Look at you all being shocked and offended by the people at Trumps inauguration not doing anti Trump things

  9. “Pay us to hear about the terrible world we helped create”

    -WaPo

  10. The fall of the Post is rather disappointing. They had/have some great journalists.

  11. And/but – and this certainly doesn’t make it alright in any way – it’s not like the people that ad needs to reach read the WP.

  12. None of them are on our side. You’ll never find a billionaire on your side, they view us all as lowly vermin.

  13. All major media outlets in the US are now controlled by the billionaire class.

  14. Noted. Not a surprise. Press controlled by billionaires is hardly free, and in this case not at all helpful in regaining freedom. This phenomenon must be addressed and sorted out after the people win this struggle on their own.

  15. So I guess Bezos is the other part in the Trump/Musk threesome

  17. Not only no free speech, you can’t even speak freely in paid advertising!

  19. Bezos can go fuck himself with a baseball bat wrapped in barb wire.

  20. “Democracy dies in darkness” is their motto.

    “We’ll flip the switch ourselves” seems better

  21. Confirmation again and again and again that canceling my subscription was the right thing to do.

    Billionaires shouldn’t own social media platforms and news organizations.

  25. “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was a promise, not a warning

  26. I once had respect for this publication. What a bunch of cowards, it’s all just propaganda now.

  27. I grew up reading my parent’s print Post. I bought my first subscription for myself in college. I paid for an online subscription after I moved away from Maryland. Loved reading it for 40 years even when columns by Will and Krauthammer passed me off.

    Bending the knee about the endorsement was the last straw so I can’t say this is surprising but it is still sad. It is a tragedy what Bezos has wrought.

  28. America is going to be an entirely different landscape within a few short months.

    Wow.

  29. …is anyone actually shocked by this? It’s owned by Jeff Bezos.

  30. Thanks for reminding me daily why I unsubscribed, what an absolute joke. Imagine having all that money and being too chicken to run an ad because Elon might get mad.

  31. Cancelled Amazon prime and sold my stock at the all time high. Done with this stupid shit.

  32. remember all that democracy dies in darkness bullshit?
