Matt BlazeThe Washington Post today gave a master class in reputation squandering.
Oblomov@mattblaze was Jeff zealous of Musk getting all the attention for destroying Twitter? Is there a race I'm not aware of?
Bamps@oblomov @mattblaze Jeff owns space as his idea actually makes sense. Don’t write bezos off. Spacex is child’s play compared to what bezos us doing
i_give_u_worms@oblomov @mattblaze
pretty much the race to destroy democracy in favor of oligarchy, run by people terrified of seeing the income inequality graph tapped on over and over again, the billionaires who want tax breaks are using that money to try to buy this election and also stop elections.
What they want to put in place is a mafia, they are being helped by mafioso Valdimir Putin, who likes using terror to manage oligarchs

Steven Rosenthal@mattblaze It's amazing. What's the point of having an opinion section if you refuse to have an opinion about THIS???
ℵ₁@stevenrosenthal @mattblaze the point is to publish opposing opinions to give red meat to all sides to drive viewership without taking a stand
Jay Baltz@mattblaze And we cancelled our longstanding subscription.
Heresy generator@mattblaze At least A.G. Sulzberger had the sense to squander the New York Times reputation slowly over 6 years for money. Still a terrible long-term decision, but better than this.
marasawr@mattblaze The fact that other outlets are letting comparisons equating WaPo as ‘an independent newspaper’ under Katherine Graham vs Jeff Bezos sail by unchallenged is journalistic malpractice
Laffy@mattblaze Amen, Matt
Grandpa Don@mattblaze
Reports indicate the Post is still the Post but its billionaire owner is a greedy chickenshit motherhumper who singlehandedly squandred it*. That would be further confirmed by mass resignations. In a publicly held company, the board would kick out the CEO. Maybe the managers and staff can force him to sell. Just go on strike demanding he sell it to them for $100.
*Equally applicable to LA Times.

Bezos bought that car so he could drive it into a tree on purpose, the same reason Elon turned twitter into X

@mattblaze @TheJen only been a subscriber for 15 years… oops, canceled.
Wm.sonHonestly, I've given up on the major papers at this point. I feel bad for the very talented reporters they have but good grief...
