Perceptive and accurate take on the at best meaningless word salad and at worst prescription for yet more bullshit both sides equivocation between facts and truthiness offered by Bezos.

Reputation and trust require decades to build and mere seconds to destroy. As long as Bezos owns WaPo, its reputation is not restorable, assuming restoration is even possible at this point.

I cancelled my WAPO subscription today. Have been reading way more quality journalism and perspective on Substack than WAPO and NYT… people like Rothkopf, Heather Cox Richardson, Hubbell, Timothy Snyder, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Jay Kuo, Simon Rosenberg, Jessica Craven.

I canceled my WAPO subscription. Bezos is a billionaire with a lot to lise so he prematurely bends the knee. What a craven coward. Amazon Prime is next to go.

Bezos and Soon-Shiong could have endowed their own damn newspapers and not forced their papers to continue to try to be a profitable business in a landscape of collapsing newspapers. They still could now. Ugh. I canceled and I am not sorry. I may or may not renew when my subscription runs out.

Bezos should have kept his fecking gob shut, as who's he kidding already? WaPo readers are way ahead of this bozo, and aren't having a bar of it.

Back on your yacht, boyo, nobody is listening.
