In other words… We are a biased opinion page slated to one side as is our paper.

And I’ll continue to not give a shit what WaPo has to say.
Damn shame because I had a WSJ subscription for over 10 years, then cancelled after it was bought.
Then from 2008 till around 2 years ago I had both a WaPo and a NYT subscription.
Thanks for saving me money guys.

>“We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” he declared. “We’ll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
Notably, the night he announced his new directive for the opinion section, Bezos had dinner with Trump.
We voted away our freedom for this.

First honest thing the post has said in a while tbh.

Jeff Bezos does exactly squat to protect personal liberties. If he did, there wouldn’t be a dichotomy of liberal and conservative op-eds at his “paper”. Also, nobody hates free markets more than the uberrich. The argument being made is only for the gullible.

If anything good has come out of this political shift in the US… it’s that the mask is coming off everywhere. No more guessing what true intentions are. Now they tell you to your face whether they think you’re a subhuman or not.

They are writing about free markets calling themself a conservative page while Trump does the opposite of having free markets. Got it

Is this a desperate attempt to stay relevant? Seems like a risky move

IMO, don’t read the opinion pages of any news site. Modern journalists have no special insights, background, ability or mandate to provide anything like a nuanced opinion on anything.
They exist to raise engagement numbers and sell ads, mainly through clickbait and pandering to their audience.
In other words, form your own opinions on news. You shouldn’t need to be told what to think.

Not surprising since this guy wrote a book defending the GWB Administration torture program.

Remember when they refused to endorse anyone after it was clear they were going to endorse Harris and their reason was something like “Newspapers shouldn’t offer endorsements, we don’t want to have points of view, we just want to tell the truth.”
Yeah… about that…

Lmao at anyone who supports Trump saying they value free markets and personal liberties.

Supporting personal liberties and free markets would have them opposing the current administration

The Post is the newspaper that Jeff Bezos owns. Bezos must be getting ready to ask Trump for something.

This is exhibit A why conglomerate owned media should be illegal. For any corp or private enterprise in the business of news, they should be legally barred from having any other business interest because otherwise incentives are not going to stay aligned. Trump’s leverage over WaPo and others always goes through appeals to other business interests or mergers which require regulatory approval.

So…propoganda?
They aren’t discussing the merits of a question or regulation, just spewing right wing talking points?
