Who the fuck reads the Washington Post these days anyway? It’s just pro fascism and Israel propaganda
Same with NY Times...they lost my respect at the Iraq war and the WMDs bullshit.
The fascists and Zionists. And trust me, there's quite a few of them.
I fucking guarantee you that this isn't even about squeezing the last dome put of it, this is a direct attack in democracy
Not that the WP was such a great defender, but I bet good money that loads of these journalists will now be replaced with yes-man editors who all day just write what the regime wants.
Fuck fascism, fuck fascists
Democracy Dies in Darkness
"I'll make sure of it." ---Jeff Bezos
I wonder what all these serious journalists though while working there
Did they really believe they'd be spared?
I'd love to see some sort of news media co-op where journalists are in charge, it's grass-roots/community reporting focused, and big business is not entwined in the underlying structure.
Isn't that exactly what the Associated Press is?
There’s some great outfits like 404 Media, but I see complaints all the time on here about login or paywall requirements that they use to try and make it a sustainable operation.
honest news don't sell.
No, boring news doesn't sell. You can make boring news exciting and get viewers.
The problem is access.
You don't get access to the biggest stories, the insiders, the interviews and the releases from major organizations without a complicated establishment within the system.
Independent journalists can do a lot but are cut out at a certain point. Only particular representatives are invited to press briefings by various organizations.
And in case nobody is reading between the lines here, getting that kind of clout and acce$$ i$ Some kind of Secret formula that involve$ a lot of thing$ I'm probably not an expert on.
It needs to happen. We're in a situation right now where media is captive by the same forces driving EVERYTHING right now. Re-establishing a free and honest press is pretty much required at this point.
Can't this guy just go fuck his bridge troll my god what happened to her face wife and leave everyone alone?
"Democracy dies in darkness" wasn't a warning, it was a promise.
Bezos is on the evil list
…and on the guillotine list
Has been for a loooooong time
Parasite bezos deserves a quick trip to the guillotine.
alien bezos, remember we came back from space that one year, and he acted like a non human when spraying alcohol on shatner.
