Why does this Huffington post article appear to blame the CEO of the Washington Post for the vast firings at the corrupt paper?

The CEO was fired too. Also by Bezos, but its written as if Bezos fired him for the firings, that Bezos did. Is this the level of bullshit we must now expect?

Lots of media coverage about the new hospital league tables in England.
Not one of the media sites I've looked mentions this:
"Using the data
When looking at league table data—especially overall rankings—it’s important to check the confidence intervals. These show how certain we are about a trust’s score or rank."

There are other caveats.

My inclination for sharing data was always tempered by my knowledge that politicians and the media will jump on a single 'fact' and ignore critical metadata.

@Lawrence took out @jonstewart and @ezraklein tonight. Thank you. This discourse about Biden’s age is so ageist. It makes this still productive-but also old-lady crazy. A little veneration is in order. Young whippersnappers.

@bbcnewsfeed this is a terrible story full of minimising rubbish. There is no indication that Covid is going to become just like the flu. It’s nothing like the flu! #badreporting #misinformation

NBC is apparently very horny for Tucker Carlson.

NYT Headline today:
Brandon Johnson Elected Chicago Mayor, Turning Back Tough-on-Crime Opponent
NYT Headline in February:
Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago Loses Her Bid for Re-election
The result was a resounding defeat that reflected widespread dissatisfaction from voters over her handling of crime.
