Washington Post Unveils New Slogan: ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’

The left-leaning Washington Post has introduced a new slogan in the age of President Donald Trump: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

In an interview with CNN’s Brian Stelter, the paper’s spokesperson, Kris Coratti, said that the slogan was a “good, concise value statement that conveys who we are to the many millions of readers who have come to us for the first time over the last year.”

The newspaper, which is owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, was vehemently opposed to Donald Trump’s candidacy in the 2016 presidential election. As part of the effort to prevent Trump from winning, Bezos reportedly hired a team of 20 investigative journalists to dig into “every phase” of Donald Trump’s personal life and professional career.

The slogan should read, “America’s Lame Stream Media: Up in smoke.”

Are they racist? Associating lack of democracy with the “darkness” of Obama? My bad, Obama was so opaque and manipulative of the press, their debauchery is his fault and the complicit press

From successfully attacking Nixon, now the leftist press only has straws of whining to grab at, saying democracy is imperilled if they are held accountable

“The founding fathers were EXTREMELY skeptical of democracy, recognizing it as sure a road to tyranny as was the monarchy they fought against.”

Drumbo’s tagline was similar to the following: “Democracy can withstand anything but democrats.”

Their slogan should be “We Lie” or “We Suck’ /

How about "We Lie & We Suck"? Why compromise? They can tell the whole truth.

Democracy is the cause of deep darkness.

Its the lowest form of governance.

I swear, I would’ve sworn that the phrase “fake news” would have appeared somewhere in WaPo’s new slogan.

I swear, I would’ve sworn that the phrase “fake news” would have appeared somewhere in WaPo’s new slogan, but apparently not.

BTW, doesn’t a slogan with “die” and “darkness” seem really gloomy? I wonder if there’s some kind of projection going on here relating to WaPo’s financial situation?
