Staffers at The Washington Post are livid at publisher Fred Ryan.
That's according to conversations I had on Wednesday with nearly a dozen employees at The Post who expressed fury at the way Ryan announced in a town hall that the company would undergo layoffs in early 2023. Ryan said that the layoffs would only amount to a single-digit percentage of the workforce and that the overall size of the company would not shrink, given there would be reinvestments in other areas. But none of that quelled outrage from staffers.
The staffers at The Post, who were already seeking answers over the way their colleagues who worked on the now-canceled Sunday magazine were summarily let go late last month, were aghast at the way Ryan conducted himself in the town hall, they told me. "He does this whole dog and pony show about how things are going great and then drops at the end that he's gong to cut the workforce — and then he refuses to take questions," one staffer told me.
Video posted on Twitter by national reporter Annie Gowen showed Ryan walk off stage as staffers peppered him with questions. Instead of answering the queries from his startled and anxious employees, Ryan told them that he would not "turn the town hall into a grievance session." In a blistering statement, The Washington Post Guild fired back at Ryan, describing his refusal to take questions as "unacceptable" behavior "from any leader," but "especially the leader of a news organization whose core values include transparency and accountability."

Seems to me that management are the ones who should be let go.
Washington Post Announces Layoffs after Hemorrhaging Subscribers in 2022
I saw a video on PBS about the Denver Post newspaper losing lots of subscribers. The workers there including those that ran the paper blamed everyone but themselves and their bad bias reporting of the news. It looks like the Post employees do not have a clue either.
Cue Nelson Muntz. “HA HA!’’
BOO HOO GURL! ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME!!
There’s undoubtedly a Burger King with a ‘help wanted’ sign in the window w/n a short walking distance...

That sounds like hate speech to me—the Washington Post will have to censor it to save our democracy!
Bwahahahahahahaha.
“42 years ago”
They were lying to you back then—they just were not as blatant about it.
Many news media lies are lies of omission—it is the important stories they refuse to cover that show their bias and/or their Deep State connections:

But—the “good old days” included some really nasty stuff that still has received little publicity.
That included subliminal messages on television (both government and private).
Here is an example from the 1950s—the sign off subliminal messaging:
