There is only one proven way to change corporate culture.

Fire all hostiles.

If that is the entire professional staff go for it.

There are plenty of folks who would be thrilled to replace them.

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

'Nuff said. Should be 1/5 trans, 1/5 Asian or Pacific Islander....

Is that why we point out here that 4 or 5 "journalists" had to write the daily stories such as "Disproven Trump Election Fraud Theory Brought Up By Stupid MAGA Fool."

“writers who have contributed to the free fall of the Post were apoplectic.”

and yet only a couple have resigned ... they know there is no where else for them to go, so they’ll stay onboard spewing lies and propaganda until fired ...

“Get on board”

Where will non-advocacy journalists come from to replace those so deeply entrenched? Certainly not from today’s academia.

Simple solution. Lay off everybody.

Use AI to write reports.

Remain woke - everyone in DC area is woke. That's their market.

Easy money.

Bad management. You don’t let employees dictate policy.

Will any of this make a difference?

Newspapers seem to be a dying industry. A number of daily newspapers have gone out of business in recent years. Some others have gone to an internet only platform.

And while the circulation of the actual printed newspaper has been nosediving, they have not nearly made up the difference with internet subscriptions.

We get our information from the Daily Mail, streaming conservative channels on Roku, Free Republic, and other websites.

We rarely catch a local news or network news source. They screwed us over for so many years it's not worth giving them another chance. It will just make us mad to hear their far-leftist slants.

I so encourage everyone to drop cable and switch to only streaming and Over-The-Air. It is so worth it and it starves what has hurt our country and culture.

Uh, most of this from Turley reads like his June 2024 post:

https://jonathanturley.org/2024/06/04/lets-not-sugarcoat-it-people-are-not-reading-your-stuff-post-reporters-outraged-after-publisher-drops-truth-bomb/

"We need the Washington Post back as a leading newspaper committed to traditional journalism."

No we don't. Let it burn. There are plenty of honest news outlets.

save this great American newspaper

I do not remember ever thinking that the Washington Post was anything great.

The first time I heard Rush call it the Washington Compost, it was perfect.

"Saving" a stinking pile of #&@# is not a good plan.

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?!

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

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