If the WP will remain woke, why fire anybody? Let the parasites keep sucking on the host.

It's expensive. I don't think Bezos need the WaPo anymore so he might as well as unload the newspaper.

“One staffer complained, “We now have four White men running three newsrooms.”

So go work for the Chicago Defender.

You don’t have to put a wire into the back of someone’s head, all you have to do is have full control over the information that’s placed in front of their heads. The end result is the same.

This works quite well if you have good dominance in what the audience/readers read. Today, we have a fractured, multi-ideological media, with individuals able to choose from dozens of viewpoints.

It is sort of similar to what existed at the founding of the Republic, when creating a newspaper was relatively inexpensive, and everyone knew each newspaper had an opinion and a type of advocacy.

A fractured, partisan, media is what the founders experienced and expected.

Many of us are rooting for Lewis in seeking to right this ship. We need the Washington Post back as a leading newspaper committed to traditional journalism.

When was it ever committed to tradition journalism?!

“The pen is more powerful than the sword. That’s a simple enough fact, but the reality is that then makes the journalist more powerful than the politician.”

If nobody reads their left wing word salads, there is no power. Loss of power is what the narcissistic leftists are upset about, and there’s nothing the leftists can do to fix it. Welcome to the La Brea tar pits, dinosaurs.

[Zathras]

Many birds in birdcages deeply saddened.

“We now have four White men running three newsrooms.”

Tell the “journalists” that there will be even more white men employed as reporters when the staff is fired replaced.

I lived in a Maryland suburb of DC more than 40 years ago and subscribed to the Washington Post. It was very biased even then. When Bezos bought it, saving it from bankruptcy, it went completely woke and became an arm of the democrat party.

[No name given]

And a self loathing white libtard at that.

[Paladin2]

The WaPo IS Darkness.

[FLT-bird]

Obviously all the lying leftist propagandists were going to have to be fired. Did anybody think otherwise?

[UCANSEE2]

I would bet my left boob that virtue signaling d-bag is white.

and gay.

“You can fire the whole staff, but then you’re left with no new staff to hire on the other side.”

Just hire a bunch of high-schoolers and pay for them with grants. My local rag brags up on this. Not that it made a bunch of difference.
