Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell... posted about Katz’s suspension ...

Threads Bans Anyone For Mentioning Hitler, Even To Criticize

Quick test: should saying “Hitler, not a good guy” cause you to be banned from your social media account? Seems simple enough. But apparently not for Meta, the largest social media company on the p…

Jeff Bezos describing journalism as “our profession” in an op-ed defending his decision to kill the Washington Post’s Harris endorsement

#WaPo

Opinion The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media A note from our owner. 5 min 15478 By Jeff Bezos October 28, 2024 at 7:26 p.m. EDT Jeff Bezos is the owner of The Washington Post. In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working.

We want to support the journalists; so boycott Amazon and encourage Bezos to sell the Washington Post to someone who gives a shit.

“A friend who works for #WaPo marketing dept says there's a #WaPoMeltDown in their business unit following the news as digital subscriptions cancellations have hit 60k barely 8 hrs after decision not to endorse. Cancellation rate is unprecedented and we're barely 24 hours into it.”— r/t Carlos @The Makaya

There are better options out there! No more billionaire supported media!

Screen shot of the landing page when you ask Washington Post to cancel a subscription online. There is a heading which reads, "Your support helps us deliver exclusive, in-depth reporting." A subheading reads, "Thank you for helping support coverage you won't find anywhere else." Three stories are features with pictures, a story about Earth's past climate and our climate now, a story about Parkinson's disease, and a story about a photo taken on the National Mall in 1974. Finally, there are two buttons at the bottom, one of which I have circled several times which allows me to continue to cancelling subscription (they always make it hard). There are two pale gray text links at the bottom, one for the privacy policy and one asking if I need help. I circled the latter and wrote, "Nope!"

Jeff Bezos deserves to be bankrupted—selling out democracy to protect his wealth. Disgusting.

The WaPo owner’s cowardice aside, I wonder, does Bezos imagine trump & co will forgive & forget how much they hated the WaPo for its trump-Russia coverage during trump’s (hopefully only) term?
Bezos gonna hafta do alot more than just not endorse Harris to get in trump’s good graces.
