WP has been doing some things right lately. And this was definitely the right thing to do.

Has FOX or talk radio done the same? They should be leading the charge. Costello should not get off easy.

Apparently the hypocrisy was just too evident.

I don’t think they really have much choice. Before they were, in essence, forced to sell out to Jeff Bevos (the value of the business had plunged to $250 million and was RAPIDLY headed toward zero and below — Bezos was the ONLY buyer and took pity on them) they were hemorrhaging money.

A significant part of the reason for the WaPo losing so much money was that they had largely become mainly agendanistas instead of News People. I think that Bezos is trying to change that and to stem the losses before HE has to abandon it to bankruptcy and closure. He will not go down with THAT ship,
