The Washington Post Is in Full-Scale Collapse

“In addition to churning subscribers and losing $100 million a year, the Washington Post is also failing to engage audiences. Four years ago, the Post boasted 139 million monthly visitors. By the end of last year, it had less than 60 million”

Finally, some good news.

Unfortunately, the decline in viewers will convince the Composters that thye are too right wing.

Amen. I hope it crashes and burns. If Bezos really loves fake news, he can probably fund it for decades. But if he is smart enough to see it is garbage journalism, he’ll force change or sell it to someone who cares about objectivity and truth.

bezos don’t care ... it’s his propaganda tool ...

The WaPo provides this news: we hate Trump and everything he does and says. Every day.

After paying for that for years the Dem audience finally figured that out as they did with network tv news.

good!
it must do quite a bit of harm to have such a far-leftist (and thus, often liar of a) paper in our nation’s capitol

There's a difference in quality. In the past, the Washington Post used to lean left but it was a reputable newspaper and they had high standards.

Now it's the American version of the Pravda.

So that's why their readership is in freefall compared to the WSJ and the NY Times.

Yep. All Bezos has to do is nudge his Amazon Prime subscription by $10/yr, and include, “As our bonus to you, a free subscription to the Washington Post!”.

It’s the CIA propaganda tool...and it’s an embarrassment to Bezos.

[BlueStateRightist]

Wondering how much is due to DEI ideology and hiring practices at the WaPo.

It gets old. Even if you agree with what they're doing.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So long Washington < BLEEP! >

[bankwalker]

how much do you buy from amazon?

[lurk]

$100M isn’t much to a guy like Bezos.

[MinorityRepublican]

You're right. He'll probably do that.

I got rid of Prime membership years ago. Prime TV was nice. But I didn't want to pay extra fees to subsidize shows that I'm not going to watch like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which Amazon paid over $1 Billion to produce.

Buffett bought the Omaha World Herald and sold it at a loss a couple years back.

[butlerweave]

It just used it to attack Trump ,LOL

[alstewartfan]

I stop listening to anyone I catch in self-serving lies. Hyperbole is fine, but lies created out of whole cloth are nauseating.

[God luvs America]

Soros house swatted....
Harvard AA president resigns....
Now this???

Are the stars aligning?

“how much do you buy from amazon?”

Enough to justify the subscription. Mrs. Eccl pays for that, and she ain’t budging. The free video is nice to have, too. I hate to give Bezos my money, but the convenience is hard to beat with the free delivery.
