I agree: "The Market is self-correcting."

And the Washington Post did not fulfill its mission.

If "Democracy Ends in Darkness", then when editors fail to shed light on BOTH sides of an issue, they are DESTROYING democracy. WaPo is creating more darkness: lying, hiding the truth, and pretending that MAGA is Adolph Hitler and the like.

Plus, Musk's X is doing a standup job destroying the Fake News outlets. They can't compete with the speed of access and rich media that X offers with short clips and tight comments.

X is more compelling than trying to read a WaPo editorial (with advertising distractions around the story) on a small smartphone. People tire of that pretty quickly.

When I see an X link in a Free Republic story, I invariably click it because

To save his investment, Bezos is going to reposition the paper from the partisan and elitist rag it is today.

And yeah, it IS glorious too!

Bezos knows if ANY company BY POLICY gives the finger to 85% of their potential customers they'll fail. Apparently that's 'news' to the monkeys running the zoo at the Washington Post.
