WaPo CEO brutally tells employees: We're losing money because no one is reading your stories

The propaganda template needs revision.

The champions of public schools reap the whirlwind.

Maybe they could have the laws changed so that fish and chips or other fast foods were required by law to be wrapped in newspaper (preferably with the WAPo).

‘Lewis cannot “expect to bring in new readers” when he’s “abolished all diversity from the leadership,” a source similarly told the NY Post.’

And why is that? Is that assertion true? It seems to me that no one on the left is capable of making an argument anymore.

I suppose some people might say “I hear the WaPo has increased the diversity in their leadership. I think I’ll pick up a copy.”

It’s more likely that the WaPo’s leadership is currently so liberal, and so diverse, that the paper is churning out propaganda instead of honest news. Some of their readers can tell the difference.

The WaPo could pursue diversity in a way that increases readership. They need affirmative action to bring in conservatives at all levels of the paper, especially the leadership.

Despite the urgent news about the company’s dire finances and dwindling audience, an employee who spoke to Vanity Fair was still hung up on the lack of diversity.

They deserve some credit for breaking the Watergate story, but that was 50 years ago, and what have they done since?

A minor story that got blown out of proportion. If the Parties were reversed it never would have been a story.

Why does nobody read their stories? Number 1 they’re extremely politically biased. Number 2 they’re all about getting Trump and don’t even bother to acknowledge it. Number 3 they’re commie elitists. No American wants that.

The place is staffed by narcissists who live on the low end of the IQ scale. They effectively mirror the deep state rats they cover for, and readers have zero interest in reading about the travails of irritating psychopaths.

Lewis missed an opportunity to tell staff

Diversity is an unaffordable luxury when the company is losing money.

Watch heads explode.

DIVERSITY===BANKRUPTCY

The meeting became tense at times because some staffers felt Buzbee's departure was not handled correctly and they objected to a woman being replaced with another white man.

These people are so blinded by their ideology. We must be diverse - never mind that the product we produce is garbage and no one wants to read it, which is the real reason for their cratering circulation numbers and huge financial losses (not that Jeff Bezos cares).

[Rummyfan]

Lewis cannot “expect to bring in new readers” when he’s “abolished all diversity from the leadership," ....

They just don't get it. The new editor told them flat out: no one is reading your product.

[Rummyfan]

Well duh, no one cares about a 21st century version of Pravda.

Pravda on the Potomac...

The Washington Compost is an operation for illegal political contributions-in-kind, nothing more

How is it done?

[wgmalabama]

If they expect their writers to generate consumer interest content then they are dead. They all just yell SJW / LGBTQPedo /BLOnlyMATTER …. and no one will willingly pay for that BS.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Alex Jones is not a conservative.

He is a gadfly.

Which is not a bad thing to be.

If nothing else it makes your articles interesting.

[T.B. Yoits]

Instead of buying advertising and paying for campaigns, korporations that own Propaganda Media companies do the advertising and campaigning for them for free.

They call it "news" and "The View" but it's a clear case of illegal political contributions-in-kind.

"'I don’t think she deserved to go out this way,' the staffer said, noting that in conversations with their colleagues, people 'don’t feel good about the fact that the first female executive editor of TheWashington Post got a one paragraph goodbye note at 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and that she’s being replaced by more white men we don’t know.'”

The article doesn't hint anything about how these changes were done in the past, but it implies that Buzbee was fired because she was a woman.

are you confessing to purchasing a copy of the post?

He is my imaginary bird.
