Many media outlets such as the Washington Post, LA Times, NBC among many others are owned, controlled and subsidized by liberal, leftist billionaire individuals and families. They use them to project their power, interests and politics. Most of these people have the primordial fear that one day they will be held accountable by the outraged people and that their commitment and support of the Left will protect and preserve them. They are as hopelessly wrong as were the pompous upper class Russian elites who supported the revolution. They were among the first to be liquidated.

The walkout comes as the Post is anticipating a loss of around $100 million in 2023.If the average salary and benefits for those 240 jobs is $200K, that's only $48M saved. Maybe some upper management jobs will be be eliminated to bring the savings closer to $100M. But the Compost should be prepared for an even greater annual losses in the coming years.
Two individuals familiar with the Postās finances reportedly told The New York Times in July that the outlet plans to eliminate roughly 240 jobs.
