The crybabies at the Post are going to ask Tom Hanks and Myrel Streep to meet with Bezos to save their jobs. Hanks and Streep played Ben Bradlee (editor) and Kathryn Graham (owner) of the Post (back in the 70s) in the 2017 movie of the same name.

Why should any Leftist actors have any weight with Bezos? The Post is loosing 100 million dollars a year!

“ The Post, according to multiple reports, is planning to dramatically reduce the size of its staff in the coming weeks and is reportedly considering making the steepest cutbacks to its foreign desk and sports department.”

Jeez, instead of having four “journalists” writing an article they’re going to have to get by with only three. The horror…. the horror.🙀🙀

big gossip is that he is going to let that go so he can buy vanity project for wife.

What does that trashy dressing gold digger want?

Take a guess.

Vogue. Met Gala.

They wouldn’t have to worry about their jobs if they would do their job.

They don’t have any reporters at the Washington Post. Only Propagandists.

ONLY way to “save” it is fire ALL of them, and start over.

I found one Washington Post reporter who should be saved.

Let me see—I have that name around here somewhere.

Oops—can’t find it.

Fire them all then!

The Left is PO'ed because no one wants to support the agenda posited by the Post. Indeed, most people with at least one neuron still firing don't trust the media, so why support them? When the media starts photo shopping people like Pretti to make them look more "likeable", the death knell has pealed. Hanks and Streep are on a sinking ship and Bezos knows it.

Do they not understand that it is a busness?! Bezos as owner can do whatever he wants with it. Maybe the employees should be looking for a white knight new owner. But who wants to buy a newspaper in 2026.

Let the Post fall. It’s always been one-sided, i.e., demoncRAT side, reporting.
