I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

Some things should change with shutting down USAID...

[MayflowerMadam]

It sounds good. We’ll see.

[7thson]

Get rid of that “Democracy Dies In Darkness” BS at the top of your front page.

[Uncle Miltie]

Sad to say of people I consider my religious brethren (Bezos, Zuckerberg, et al) that they too easily find themselves on the side of political power (see Al Andalus / The Spanish Inquisition) rather than consistently on the side of the principle of Liberty.

[7thson]

How many of the current staff will quit? How many will stay to sabotage?

[libertylover]

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market

Those viewpoints are only underserved in the old media - see Tagline. Hope his note changes that, but I doubt it.

[cgbg]

Yup—it should read “We were insane leftist propagandists. We apologize.”

[odawg]

“I am of America and for America, and proud to be so.”

For someone who started his business in his garage and wound up to where he is now, his choice should be very clear and easy to make.

BTTT

Notice the reaction from David Shipley.

Not only, “No.” But “Hell, NO!”

David Shipley, Washington Post Editorial Page Editor, REFUSES to print opinions disagreeing with HIS opinions.

[JimRed]

Now, does personal liberties extend to what happened on October 7?

Or, by extension, treating Islam as a religion instead of what it truly is...a socio-political system masquerading as one, which demands that its adherents subjugate, enslave or kill those who reject it?

[one guy in new jersey]

“...two pillars: personal liberties and free markets...”

So...not necessarily going to champion that whole “Christ is King” thing?

[JimRed]

LIMITED and WELL CONTROLLEd limitations must exist.

If you cannot be trusted to be armed, you should not be running around loose.

[JimRed]

Hell not driving AT ALL would make death rates zero among car accidents.

And would greatly increase the death rate on alternate means of transport.

[dp0622]

I didn’t even think about that.

I’m not a foresight kind of thinker :)

Of course that would be an outcome.

Didn’t occur to me for some reason.

[Sirius Lee]

It’s a lot better message than the one WaPo has been pushing all these years: “All for the State. Nothing outside the State.”

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Weathervane much Jeffy??

[sergeantdave]

Watching leftist heads exploding could be a pay-to-view event.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“ I applaud Bezos for doing this.”

I do too. You don’t make money selling to a small audience. Eliminating bias, especially in opinion columns will bring in more readers.
