Nope. Bezos. They lost 250,000 subscribers when he started interfering with editorial policy. As per usual, anything a right-wing loon touches turns to shit.

The Washington Post is laying off one-third of its staff in the newsroom and other departments, a brutal blow at one of journalism’s most legendary brands.

The troubled Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks on Wednesday, including eliminating its sports department and shrinking the number of journalists it stations overseas. The changes were announced by executive editor Matt Murray in a Zoom meeting with staff.

The staff reduction is a significant psychic blow at the Post, known in history books for its Watergate revelations and most recently for aggressive coverage of President Donald Trump’s cutbacks to the federal workforce, and for journalism in general.

Staff members in the newsroom were told they would be getting emails with one of two subject lines, announcing that the person’s role has or hasn’t been eliminated. A Post representative confirmed that one-third of the staff would be cut, without saying how many total employees the newspaper has.

The newspaper’s books department will be closed, and its Washington-area news department and editing staff will be restructured, Murray told staff members. Its Post Reports podcast will be suspended.

Is the Washington Post, what G. Gordon Liddy used to call the Washington "Beep" on his Radio show? I liked the G-Man.

Get back to me after His appeal about that.

He was fascinating to listen to. Although a thug and felon, in another sense as stand up guy, that would not rat out others. That is a dichotomy between evil and good in one person, and his otherwise conservative opinions often mirrored my own. It was a good radio show.

W Post implementing their own DOGE after trashing trump for DOGE.

Go MAGA, go broke.

Jeff Bezos dropped about $70 million making and distributing a hagiography about the First Prostitute, and he has been taking the Post into bankruptcy as he has the editors fluffing Trump.

What do you suppose he's after? What does he want from the Chief Grifter?

Dot 1: FTC Sues Amazon for Illegally Maintaining Monopoly Power

Dot 2: Amazon loses effort to dodge federal antitrust charges​

A judge rejected Amazon's claims that the Supreme Court found the FTC had hoops to jump through before it could seek a permanent injunction in court.

DOT 3: Court seems likely to side with Trump on president’s power to fire FTC commissioner​

The Supreme Court on Monday morning signaled that it was likely to strike down a federal law that restricts the president’s ability to fire members of the Federal Trade Commission. During two and a half hours of argument in the case of Trump v. Slaughter, a solid majority of the justices appeared to agree with the Trump administration that a law prohibiting the president from firing FTC commissioners except in cases of “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office” violates the constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government.

DOT 4: Amazon touts ‘Melania’ box office success, though film well short of turning a profit​

Amazon paid $40 million for the rights to “Melania” and committed another $35 million for marketing — eye-poppingly high sums for a documentary. The Hollywood Reporter called it the “most expensive” such film in history.

Having been through many "massive" playoffs in my spotted career, I would say that the true test of this gambit will come when "we" see if there is any difference in the quality of the work product. Many organizations are stripped of what they previously deemed "critical" staff, and six months later, nobody knows what those people were doing, or why.

The Washington Post was the news outlet for the millions of government teat-suckers who live in the DC and NOVA areas...employees, "consultants," contractors, and other hangers on. They are overwhelmingly Leftist in their viewpoints, and saw the Post as an unbiased source of information and news. It wasn't.

Should anyone outside DC give a shit? I'm not sure why. Broadsheet newspapers are a dying business model.

MAGAs hate real news. They want to be lead like sheeple. Thus they are jubilant for the demise of the Post or any newspaper for that matter. The only source they trust is Trump. He is their Orange God; their reason for being. What Trump says must be true. Trump is their Delphic orifice.

Now that we’ve heard from the brain dead fucktard faction it’s time to move on to other things. That this silly shit confuses the WP, stenographers for the war machine and three letter agencies, with real news negates anything it might post.
