Just awful.

Sounds like he’s getting the blame for Trump winning... Which appears a tad unfair, even though it’s somewhat true... If he hadn’t allowed his paper and reporters to write daily ‘we hate Trump’ articles, then Trump would’ve had a lot less publicity and he may have even lost.

Hey, he helped America elect Trump.

Love that hate, baby !

NOw he has t be turfed as the New MAGA order is established.

Watch as ABC, MSLSD,and other false journalists get the axe. Mike Wallace did not even wait and Resigned from ABC.

The MArket is self correcting. No one wants t9o listen to these idiots any more and so . they got to go !

NO tears here.

Fascism is being defeated as Joseph Goebbels is rolled way back.

The Washington Post has been losing $$millions$$ for years. I suppose Bezos receives a tax write off for the “depreciation.”

The Left suggested that coal miners and others could “learn to code.” Perhaps the former Post employees could “learn to podcast” and see if anyone would actually listen. I hear that the title Air America is available.

Because you SUCK, and you LIE! That’s why.

There must be a huge job demand now for editors with a long history of biased leftist reporting…..

Adios!

Bezos bought the Washington Post for the sake of respect and influence. He is no conservative, but he realizes that when a mature business is losing money, it is a failing business. As much as Bezos has the wealth to afford it, he does not want to be known for business failure and declining influence.

How can the Post do better? Obviously, a return to traditional fact based and balanced journalism is essential but will be extraordinarily difficult to carry out because a major change in the work product will be needed. The current staff will fight against that every step of the way, telling themselves that newspapers (and jobs for Lefty journalists) are public goods that should be supported by public spirited billionaires or through taxes.

Unfortunately, by not investigating and criticizing the Biden administration, the Washington Post missed the best opportunity in decades to rebuild their brand. Instead, the Post will have to return to fact based journalism even as unhinged Trump hating beckons every day, like vodka for a determined alcoholic.

Worse, reliable, unbiased, fact based journalism is now beyond the ability of most Post reporters. Like a losing NFL team owner, Bezos will find that simply telling his coaches and players to be better at their jobs will not do the trick of making his team into winners.

Ability matters, and the painful truth is that the Washington Post is loaded up with untalented Lefties incapable of honest, unbiased writing. Slowly, at great expense, Bezos will have to hire new reporters -- even some conservative reporters.

I don’t understand the reasoning around this?

I wish nothing but the worse for anyone associated with the WP

The obsessive hatred of Trump helped get him elected.

“Washington Post abruptly ‘removes’ politics editor Dan Eggen after Trump win: report”

it’d be nice if this was just the start ...

IF MUSK BOUGHT BOTH THE NYT & WaPo -—closed both down & sold the real estate-———

IT WOULD BE DELICIOUS

I will leave it to others to explain why,” the email said.

Why, thank you! Happy to oblige. I think of Josef Goebbels contemplating something similar on 30 April, 1945 and for similar reasons: a happy world based on hatred and high fantasy torn apart by reality. A bubble popped. An entire mythology discarded like used toilet paper, which, let's face it, was all it was worth to begin with. Power dribbling away like sand through a clenched fist, leaving it empty and impotent.

I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing, actually.
