He just couldn’t take the Fake News anymore!
May he RIP
Saw the headline, hoped it was Bezos.
Same here
Around here we call him Bozos. :-)
No sh*t. Anything with Meryl Streep makes me wanna choke on a .45.
Karma?
Interesting.
Why don’t Streep and Hanks do a film on sexual exploitation in the Hollywood Industry? I hear Streep has a lot of first hand knowledge of that subject.
I guess Liberals shouldn’t own guns.
“William Graham, a 69-year-old lawyer and heir to the Washington Post fortune, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound last Wednesday.”
Perhaps he received the appraisal of what his rag is now worth.
I wonder how much he controlled the paper versus Bezos.
Is this the brother of former Senator Graham from Florida?
Meryl should be so proud
Very proud
Her performance was to die for
Back page, I hope, behind the personals.

It won’t break my heart when they bury that POS. He’ll quickly realize just how powerful he is then.
Makes me wonder what he was hiding.
I’d blow my brains out too if my name was associated with the Washintgon Post

Soon we will call him Inmate No. 0167834569!

Any movie with Streep and Hanks star in it will have political overtone points they expose to when related to media or government. Especially a Speilburg film.
