First, the Washington Post registered 1600+ cancelations of digital subscriptions in the first three hours after the news broke that the newspaper declined to make an endorsement this year and more than 2,000 so far. For perspective, the Washington Post had only 4,000 new subscribers so far this year.
So, the newspaper lost half of its new subscribers in less than one day.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have issued a statement on the Washington Post abandoning their journalistic principles:
"We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos’s ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."

MAGA LIBERALS......"if we don't agree with you, go sit in back of the bus!"
Fine, we will.
But know that the blowback will hit the front first ;) Haha

lol. Lost in that huffy nonsense of a statement was the lack of any objectivity from those two.
Somehow I don’t think Bob Woodward is going to get much access in a second theoretical Trump White House.

It’s more like MACA libs- “Make America crappy”. They’re doing a bang up job.
Love how they call half the country a bunch of Nazis and the. Turn around and wonder why political rhetoric is so bad. I guess some people are *that* stupid.

I miss the ol' days when they let me be deplorable.
Now I got demoted to Nazi.
That means I'm a Progressive on Campus, protesting Israel and harassing Jewish kids as a reaction to innocent Israeli citizens being taken to summer camp by Hamas.
How can I work my way back up to Deplorable?
Side note: They keep watering down the sin of Naziism.
I'm starting to cheer that on.
Good, water it down more.

Right. Record job growth which has outperformed any previous president. Lowest unemployment rate (4.11%) in decades and highest real hourly wages on record. Record high equity markets. Record number of insured Americans. Rapid disinflation unmatched in modern history. American economy has the fastest post-pandemic recovery of the G-7 nations. Lowest inflation of the G-7 nations. Cut child poverty in half. Families net worth is the highest on record. Violent crimes, especially homicides, have fallen. NATO expanded. Infrastructure bill passed. 800,000 manufacturing jobs added. Ready to sign the strictest border bill in modern history until Trump Thee Fascist killed it.
Yeah, "crappy" stuff.

You're mistaking us for Trump Thee Fascist's running mate, who said: Trump "may be America's Hitler."
Oh, and Trump Thee Fascist himself who has repeatedly called Harris a communist, a socialist, a Marxist, and a fascist, and who has repeatedly said that Jews who don't vote for him should have their heads examined.
The ones who need their heads examined are the republicans who spent years insisting Hillary Clinton should never have been allowed to run for president and should be in prison for mishandling classified documents but refuse to hold Trump Thee Fascist to the same standard for doing 100X worse.
Sound familiar? Or have you finally found that spine?

Nah. IPad’s are annoying to type on. Not something that poorly-programmed, mendaciously lying AI Chatbots have to worry about.

Does multibillionaire Bezos really give a damn if the WaPo fails?
