I don’t understand why people still read billionaire Jeff Bezos’ mouthpiece
I really don’t understand why they then post it as if it’s real news
We should be wary of any corpo media, esp when owned by billionaires.
That said, a lot of the value of a news medium is simple consensus. Basic observations carry more weight as having actually happened when more news orgs independently verify one another. And most of that work is being done by genuine, professional journalists.
Be discerning with your media consumption, but I would recommend against writing off entire institutions unless the reporting is so consistently awful that it's not worth the energy to sift wheat from chaff - e.g., Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, etc etc. I don't think the WaPo has reached that level of shitty (yet).
