They have lost thousands of subscribers with their turn toward becoming another Fox. I am one of them and will never go back unless Bezos sells the Post to someone who wants to restore it to an important media outlet and who will fire Lewis and all the right-wing writers he has brought onboard.

Two great papers get MAGA-fied. Surprised readership drops? MAGA is too lazy to read anything bigger than a meme.

so I have to keep my subscription.

Ownership wanted its opinion to continue to be pushed no matter how unpopular it was and blamed management for losing money.

Management’s solution was to shoot the TV personality evangelizing ownership’s vision in the head live on air.

That seems a bit extreme.

If he truly cared about the paper, which he doesn't, he'd sell it to someone who is committed to preserving democracy.

. . . no mention of this on the Post website. I have a digital subscription that I should cancel but I'll probably keep it, mainly for local/regional news and the occasional feature article.

Is that this is they control the narrative. I am defaulting to the belief that all billionaires are child eating pedophiles, no exceptions.

By elimination of newspapers and pushing most news content online, you make it easier to control what people see and hear in real time and react to counter any narrative that doesn't fit your agenda.

There goal now is to try and muddy the waters and throw stuff against the wall to start to make anyone still talking about the Epstein files out to be kooks and leftist extremists.
In fact I won't be surprised, before this administration is over that HHA orders anyone talking about Epstein to be mentally incompetent and locked away in a mental institution or just make talking about it against the law.

Before you tell me that's insane or irrational I will point you to the DOJ evidence, recently released, that there is, in real life, a giant billionaire child sex ring that eats babies.

I guess that was the goal.

Just heard on NPR they cut one third of the WaPo staff.

along with lots of AI.

Many of the news publications I once read are no longer in print, some are available in digital newspapers and magazines. Although there's has been a decline in paper news products, many can be found digitally. As more information became available on line, laptops and iPhone, etc. People didn't need to use paper copies. When I was younger I used to commute via bus and subway. In the morning other commuters always had their faces in the morning paper. Now everyone has their faces in their iphones, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel or other device.

Not just the publishers fault paper newspapers are no longer in demand. There are so many ways to get news digitally, and it's not just newspapers. Also newspapers need fewer staff to produce digital papers. Yes they still need reporters and support staff, but not in the numbers they once had. Many former reporters have started their own podcasts, daily and weekly.

I'm not saying Jeff Bezos couldn't have done a better job at streamlining the Post (which is what he's doing now) or even putting a Billion $$'s of his own wealth into the company to turn it around.

Just saying, times they are a changing and it's not just newspapers.

I've already canceled the NYTimes. Besides WaPo, I read The Hill and the Guardian for my basic news. But I'm so done with the Post. It has been disgusting in recent months.

Any suggestions?
