Struggling Washington Post Dropping ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ Slogan for This New One
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/ ^ | 1/16/2025 | MIKE LACHANCE

The Washington Post is in a major rough spot. The once iconic publication has lost a ton of its traffic since 2021 and their unhinged lefty writers are deserting them.

Now they’re attempting to rebrand. They are dropping their ‘democracy dies in darkness’ slogan in favor of a new one that’s not much better.

It’s not clear how this is supposed to turn around their losing streak.

They should have changed it to “Democracy dies with Democrats.”

Storytelling is accurate.

I would call it creating a "narrative".

All it provides is fiction, so this is accurate.

They can tell stories with the best of ‘em. Make ‘em up as they go along, too.

So many of their stories are shown to be false that they should put an expiration date under the publishing date.

“This is what the socialist, hyper-feminization of media has brought us.”
If you are stupid enough to take MSM at face value you are an idiot.
I love women, been married 47 years, my daughter is 50 this year. I listen to their wise suggestions.
but I won’t regard Democrat women demigods as wise and all knowing- ever.

I’m pretty sure that “Honest reporting of the facts” isn’t a motto someone else is using.

Storytelling is spouting fiction narratives. Stories are not reporting truth…news.
