After owner of the WaPo announces change in policy, staffers revolt! Some say they'll quit!
If you want a great start to your day--and you're not a Democrat/leftist/socialist--you need to read this surreal piece by CNN. It's about all the oh-so-tough liberal, Dem-fellating "reporters" (actually propagandists) at the Washington Post who are declaring war on owner Jeff Bezos.
They're threatening that if Bezos doesn't back down, they'll quit! Angry soyboys!
Washington Post staffers are in open rebellion against Bezos
--February 27, 2025
Current and former Washington Post staffers are rebelling against Jeff Bezos after he announced a significant editorial shift that will see the paper’s Opinion section focus on personal liberties and free markets.
Wait...did the CNN piece just say "and former staffers"? Why would anyone give a damn about what former employees think, eh? But adding "and former" makes it sounds like a bigger deal, so....
Earlier this week Bezos, who owns the Post, emailed the paper's employees saying the paper would henceforth support opinion pieces supporting "personal freedom and free markets," and that viewpoints opposing those concepts would be "left to be published by others."
Tellingly, the CNN propaganda did NOT mention what the two new viewpoints were. Cuz you'd think most Americans would strongly support "personal freedom and free markets," eh? So CNN couldn't mention those.
Starting to see how you're being played yet?
CNN also notes an even more serious complaint by the Post's so-called "reporters:" They're absolutely furious that Bezos seems to be getting more friendly with President Trump.
Included in the Wednesday announcement was the news that David Shipley, who edited the Opinion section, had resigned. Shipley had bitched about Bezos’ decision that the Post would NOT endorse the Dem candidate for prezzy--the wildly popular Cackles.
CNN claims 250,000 Post subscribers cancelled their subscription over the decision not to endorse the faaaabulous Cackles--who the Dems are convinced to this day would have been the best prezzy EVAH!
One dipshit, described by CNN as "the Post’s revered former executive editor," bleated that Bezos has actually "undermined personal liberties by cravenly yielding to a president who shows no respect for liberty.”
Seriously, CNN said Bezos “has prioritized his commercial interests over The Post, and is betraying The Post’s longstanding principles to do so.” How DARE he!?
See, because of Trump's EO us taxpayers no longer have the personal liberty to have ouah tax dollars pay for sex-change surgeries for trannies. We no longer have the freedom NOT to support $50-million-dollar grants to Sri Lanka to teach reporters how to use preferred pronouns.
Biological males no longer have the freedom to use the locker rooms of your teen daughters. ALL those "lost freedoms," eh? How can we survive?
How dumb is CNN? Try this:
Cameron Barr, a former senior managing editor for the Post, said he would end his “professional association” with the Post.
Wait...Barr is a "former" employee, so what possible relevance does his opinion have to current operations, eh? But of course: it's to make the squealing soyboys look like a big deal.
"David Maraniss, an editor at the paper, said he would “never write for (the Post) again as long as (Bezos is) the owner.”
I don't know how the nation can survive.
CNN bleats that another propagandist at the Post wailed that Bezos's new policy is
“...an abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section, replaced by a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.”
Wow.
Though Bezos’ changes exclusively target the Opinion section, at least two reporters publicly assured readers they would not tolerate overreach into the newsroom.
That's SO butch, eh? So masculine, so fierce! You go, soyboys! Cuz dey know dey won't be fired, cuz dat wud trigger a totally massive walkout, or strike, or...uh...whut are duh other threats, eh?
CNN quotes another dozen tough, masculine "reporters" bravely saying dey ain't gonna change dere reporting a whit! The fierce declarations of independence by the leftist soyboys are like, totally convincing. CNN says many Post subscribers are saying they consider supporting personal freedom and free markets to be intolerable! The piece quotes a professor at Stanford Law School saying, “if you haven’t unsubscribed, it’s time.”
SEE, citizen? ALL duh "cool kids" are leaving! We gon' show dat eeeebil Bezos guy dat if he insists on policies we don't like, we'll punish him by cancelling ouah subscriptions! Yeah!
Other major outlets have also been accused of currying the president’s favor recently. ABC News paid $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit from Trump that many experts believed ABC could have won. And CBS News staffers have also expressed alarm that their parent, Paramount Global, is looking to settle a lawsuit from Trump that they call bogus.
How about this, assholes: If you're so sure CBS could win, why not put up a $5 million bond and take over the cases, eh? Oh wait, a minute ago you were SO sure, but when your cash is on the line you're not quite so sure, eh?
You really need to read the CNN piece to see what total bullshit propaganda it is.
