Maybe it will be replaced by a series of linked blogs.

FYI..WaPo under Bezos has ADDED over 100 newsroom staff..
What’s Pinch’s bonus this year??
Bezos has money to waste from other sources. He’s but a sugar daddy.
How many are left?!!!
Give 100 monkeys 100 typewriters, and eventually one of them will win the Pulitzer Prize.
Everyone who decided to go into “journalism” in the last 10 years are idiots.
