In case anybody who works at Washington Post or LA Times is reading this, I’d just like to point out:
You have the text of that endorsement,
and you have the facts and your own thoughts about being silenced by your billionaire master, thoughts which you can surely put in words,
and SOMEBODY has the password the CMS
and SOMEBODY has the DNS credentials
and SOMEBODY sends that final draft to press
and in no cases is that “somebody” the paper’s owner. Just saying.
@inthehands Is there a real person somewhere in america who is waiting on the endorsement of a specific paper? A person who has been scrupulous on learning nothing about both the current election cycle and the forty+ years we have known these candidates.
Is there a person awaiting the GWB endorsement that wouldn't already know who Cheney is and was?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for WaPo/LA Times/newspaper hate. It's just weird that _this_ is why people are getting mad at the paper now
of COURSE everything the same organ has done is suspect! It's a newspaper!

"Ugh, who cares, this is true of newspapers since forever (cf Hearst). Independent journalists are all we have, and they're struggling."
I cannot fathom anyone supporting a paper solely on branding; if that is how you make decisions then ... cool, I guess? I do not understand your decision tree here
@level2wizard Okay, that's fine. I have to assume that you're just incapable of knowing anything about anything, any time, then, since HOW CAN YOU TRUST ANYONE, duuuude??
This is the kind of argument I used to make when I was stoned at 2 am in college. It's boring and useless.
Goodbye.
