how careless of them to lose 90% of their readers...readers must have cutback on their fiction reading.
The other 10% is reporters/talk hosts that keep them around for the laugh factor.
But I thought they said Democracy Dies in Darkness?
I wonder how many pro-Trump stories, fact sheets and statements have been deleted by the Post over the years.
Democracy dies with Democrats.
It is a dinosaur in a tarpit, slowly sinking.
Someone may put it out of its misery, or consume it an emerge an different creature.
The elderly don’t even read the obituaries anymore.Nursing Homes get a single copy for the entire building to read in the lobby.
Perhaps the sort of “Democracy” that the WaPo advocates SHOULD die, whether in darkness or when it is exposed to light.
They should print their obituary.
The Washington Post has done incredible work in keeping American Citizens in the dark.
Composting
The hard paywall probably had more to do with the readership drop.
I lived in northern Virginia in the mid-eighties. Even then the Post was known to be hard left. I saw bumper stickers reading “I Don’t Believe the Post”.
The local readership doesn’t share the country’s mood of course. It is not like the Washington Times is booming.
Wow. I think the best format for them was to follow the Daily Mail.
And do actual reporting.
They'll attract viewers that way.
The Daily Mail's website had more than 218 million unique visitors per month in 2020.
Good one. The old NY Herald Tribune had three writers who were friends and each claimed they could leave the newspaper and make it in writing on their own. They finally took the dare and left.
Charles Portis wrote True Grit made into the John Wayne movie.
Jimmy Breslin wrote Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game? about the NY Mets and the Mafia comedy The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight (movie with Jerry Orbach, Leigh Taylor-Young and Robert De Niro).
And Tom Wolfe who wrote many nonfiction books and novels including The Right Stuff and the Bonfire of the Vanities ( movie with Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis).
Shut ‘er down!
I would say the Post is just about as successful as Blue Origin. We’ll find out in a few days.
“The Washington Post Has Officially Lost 90 Percent of Its Readership.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. (Catch breath)
It looks suspiciously like the subscribers weren’t real but were “bot” accounts, only there to pump up the numbers, including for advertising dollars.
