Probably also doesn't help (and he alludes to this but not in this way) that more people are getting their news from Elon's toy (twitter) than his toy (WaPo).
And Elon's rockets are in the news lately more than his, which probably doesn't help either.
While I do not and will not push my personal interest, I will also not allow this paper to stay on autopilot and fade into irrelevance — overtaken by unresearched podcasts and social media barbs — not without a fight.
Mock them all you want, but I'm better informed by ignoring WaPo and sifting through the rest than I would be solely reading WaPo. So what does that say about your "research"?
Yeah a lot of podcasters say a lot of stupid things. But someone could have followed Russell fucking Brand and read no other news and they would have been better informed about Covid than 95% of the population and 100% of WaPo readers.
WaPo is a deep state lapdog. They'll never come close to o objective journalism. Refusing to endorse a candidate is nothing. It's the least a newspaper can do. They're so biased they seem think it's something worthy of praise.
Read between the lines. The newspaper that serves as the Deep State's PR department is admitting that they can't sell the steal.
Let me give an analogy. Voting machines must meet two requirements. They must count the vote accurately, and people must believe they count the vote accurately. The second requirement is distinct from and just as important as the first.
Likewise with newspapers. We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement.
Seriously. How many blatantly obvious lies have they pushed over the past seven years? It really looks like it's been a deliberate attempt to sow division and discord amongst the population.
While I do not and will not push my personal interest, I will also not allow this paper to stay on autopilot and fade into irrelevance — overtaken by unresearched podcasts and social media barbs — not without a fight. It’s too important. The stakes are too high. Now more than ever the world needs a credible, trusted, independent voice, and where better for that voice to originate than the capital city of the most important country in the world? To win this fight, we will have to exercise new muscles. Some changes will be a return to the past, and some will be new inventions. Criticism will be part and parcel of anything new, of course. This is the way of the world. None of this will be easy, but it will be worth it. I am so grateful to be part of this endeavor. Many of the finest journalists you’ll find anywhere work at The Washington Post, and they work painstakingly every day to get to the truth. They deserve to be believed.
Should have announced mass-firings, editorial changes and a swift denunciation of all the TDS, anti-Western and anti-white machinations that went on behind the scenes for the last decade.
Line the roads with crucifixes and let the fire purge the unclean.
The entire article (not to even mention the no-endorsement ploy) is one massive spin attempt, in which he tries to appear to “get it”, and to be conciliatory, but you barely need to read any further than the micron deep surface to see how he actually feels: he thinks they’ve done/are doing nothing wrong, and it simply infuriates him that some people have tuned them out, and are tuning stuff like Rogan’s podcast in. Oh. They’re also mad that Elon stopped them from 100% controlling the narrative online (and silencing any critics) by spending a bajillion dollars on Twittter,

The guy clearly thinks they only suffer from the second problem he laid out - i.e., it’s not that they aren’t reporting professionally, unbiasedly, truthfully, it’s just that the big bad right and Donald Trump have convinced the unwashed masses that they’re lying. Yeah… no. For the last 8 years, all of you assholes have run near 24/7 outright propaganda in an absolutely disgusting attempt to keep “your side” in power. You were wiling to print anything - literally anything (didn’t matter if it was second hand, third hand, completely unsourced, made up, outright bullshit) - so long as you thought it would hurt the right, and help the left. You guys (for any part of the public that is actually engaged enough to pay attention, anyway) suffer from both of your “requirements”, now. You’re completely biased, and full of shit, and people know you’re full of shit.
God, this article infuriates me. I’m so goddamn tired of their attempts to spin everything. Even the no-official-endorsement stuff is absolutely obnoxious spin. Anyone that isn’t a retard knows that, of course, all these people endorse Harris/The Left. That was his whole game here: saying to themselves, “why bother giving the endorsement, when literally everyone knows it’s implicit. This way, we can act like we are being so virtuous, and garner some brownie points! Look how clever a boy I am!”.
TLDR: guy’s teh big mad that his ability to push propaganda, and control the narrative isn’t 100% as strong as he feels it should be.
In the article he says the MSM isn't lying, but rather the issue is that nobody believes them anymore. Taken to its logical conclusion, this means consumers must therefore be stupid for not believing the MSM's true claims. Then he proceeds to shit all over podcasters and social media news channels, saying they are beneath the MSM due to misinformation.
They never should have in the first place. The press has been cancer ever since it was formed. Look at what they did to someone like George Washington. If they could do that to someone like him, they can (and will) do it to anyone. The romantic archetype they crafted for themselves in the 20th century as some kind of "truth-seeking man of integrity" never existed.
You're a damned fool if you think Bezos is supporting Trump.
Bezos is an enemy elite who wants you broke, homeless, your wife dead, your children raped, and thinks it's funny. He has about a dozen foreign wars you need to die in, while your currency and savings are destroyed. Trump is merely an upper-class upstart that decided not to pay his dues to become an elite, and he's bringing Musk with him as back-up. Trump and Musk have no desire to kill you, your friends, your family, and your children. That is why we support them.
Bezos is simply trying to maneuver around the obvious fact that everyone is noticing that him, his institutions, the deep state, and his allied elites are the enemy. He's got a lot invested in the deep state propaganda machine, and he'll kill you before he lets it go. At the moment, he needs to try and repair it's reputation so he can trick you into killing yourself and your family in the future.
Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, “I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.” None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias.
There’s no way he’s this clueless, right? He has to know that it’s a loyalty test to The Party… right?
You know, now that a newspaper has said they're distrusted, I'm starting to think they're too trustworthy, just because it is like an allergic reaction for journos to actually post truth.
I guess Bezos saw 'You don't hate journalists enough' posted in the comments too many times.
Probably also doesn't help (and he alludes to this but not in this way) that more people are getting their news from Elon's toy (twitter) than his toy (WaPo).
And Elon's rockets are in the news lately more than his, which probably doesn't help either.
WaPo will NEVER be credible in my eyes, and a few token stories that shed light on democrat malfeasance isn't going to convince me otherwise.
Someone else needs to step up with a new paper, not you. Shut it down, shut your mouth, and go away.
And also fire and blacklist every single one of the present employees.
Until they get rid of the termites, the house is still rotten.
Mock them all you want, but I'm better informed by ignoring WaPo and sifting through the rest than I would be solely reading WaPo. So what does that say about your "research"?

He knows that. He owns it.
Read between the lines. The newspaper that serves as the Deep State's PR department is admitting that they can't sell the steal.
He fails to acknowledge that the reason they fail the second newspaper requirement is because they fail the first requirement.
Seriously. How many blatantly obvious lies have they pushed over the past seven years? It really looks like it's been a deliberate attempt to sow division and discord amongst the population.
That's quite the white pill.
You can only cry “Wolf!” so many times until people stop listening to you.
"You all saw it. Wolf got 'em."
Started laughing at the final paragraph:
Should have announced mass-firings, editorial changes and a swift denunciation of all the TDS, anti-Western and anti-white machinations that went on behind the scenes for the last decade.

They had a lot of help from other industries, like comics, movies, and pulp fiction.
This is Trump support in my book. Only Trump supporters realize the media is full of shit, and only dem cultists will argue otherwise
Bezos will NEVER support Donald Trump. He's desperate to not have WaPo collapse entirely while he's the owner.
He's desperate to not lose his AWS contracts with the department of defense.
Nah, he's seeing which way the wind is blowing and trying to get ahead of it as "on your side the whole time".
You're a damned fool if you think Bezos is supporting Trump.

No, he's not clueless, he's just throwing shit at the wall to make people believe that his newspaper can be objective.
Some people are dumb enough to buy it. Particularly, people who are stupid enough to think that WaPo is a legitimate news source.
None of these “boycotts” will hurt bezos 😂
https://x.com/trungtphan/status/1851085312770130345
It's not about boycotts, just recognizing enemy action. The Left can't boycott Leftism. The rest of us are already in an anti-parallel route.
You know, now that a newspaper has said they're distrusted, I'm starting to think they're too trustworthy, just because it is like an allergic reaction for journos to actually post truth.
Jeff.
That was your choice.
Don't start complaining now that you're loosing.
No one trusts bezos either.
