Back when #Billionaire #Bezos bought the #WaPo , the DC newspaper claiming to shed light on daily doings in the nation's capital , that paper was selling a quarter million copies a day,... Now after Bezos has neutered the news by pu…

The Washington Post print circulation has now fallen to 97,000; a low mark for the former Katherine Graham owned paper that used to sell more than 500,000 papers a day (the paper does not disclose website traffic to the public anymore under Bezos handpicked Publisher Will Lewis) Washington Post to Merge Metro Coverage Into Sports and Style Sections
. Last fall, when owner Jeff Bezos began taking a wrecking ball to the paper’s opinion section by killing a planned endorsement of Kamala Harris just before the election, paid digital was thought to be around 2.5 million. About 200,000 vanished overnight. And who knows what it is today after further damage caused by high-profile resignations such as that of Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes and Bezos’ announcement that he planned to transform the opinion pages into some sort of chee…

Jeff #Bezos, matrimonio a Venezia - spettacolo decandente di oligarchi compiaciuti.
Ciò che spaventa di più è l'ingraziamento del sindaco di #Venezia e dell'“élite” politica ed economica.
Queste persone non hanno rispetto per se stesse?
Mostruoso. Spero che i veneziani mandino presto v…

Jeff #Bezos, Hochzeit in Venedig - dekandentes Spektakel selbstgefälliger Oligarchen.
Was viel erschreckender ist, die Anbiederung des Bürgermeisters in #Venedig und der politischen, wirtschaftlichen "Elite".
Haben diese Leute keine Selbstachtung mehr.
Ungeheuer. Ich hoffe, dass die …

#Bezos in #Venedig. Nichts dagegen zu sagen, wenn er sich dort wie ein normaler Tourist benimmt, also ohne dass die Stadt durch Sicherheitsvorkehrungen lahm gelegt wird. Wenn es ihm zu riskant ist, mit einige Freunden einfach so in der Stadt zu heiraten, dann soll er das wo anders machen.
Er ist, wie es sc…

Phillip Bump's farewell after being downsized by #ElHefe #Bezos #WashingtonPost is commentary focused on #DJT being unable to simply sell his on…

What Trump wants, quite explicitly, is for there to be no authority in America but his own. He wants nothing to be trusted but himself and no guidance offered but his own. And he’s aided in that by the lack of alternatives. What other institutions will Americans actually trust, particularly when they so often conflate “trust” with “what they want to hear”? It’s easy to collapse into defeatism here, particularly given the events of the past six months. But the Epstein-centered events of the pas…
There are limits to Trump’s ability to compel his supporters to believe what he says. He can’t point to the Justice Department’s assertions because he told his followers that the Justice Department was dishonest. He can’t point to the justice system for the same reason. He’s centered his politics so thoroughly on distrust that his base doesn’t even give him an immediate pass. This is nonetheless more favorable terrain for Trump than for the American system. As New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moyni…
Trump has spent a decade telling Americans that they can't trust the government. He's said a “deep state” of unelected officials is plotting against them and hiding information. He’s told them they can’t trust what they've been told about vaccines, the John FE. Kennedy assassination, or what they saw with their own eyes on January 6, 2021. Now Trump wants the nation to just trust a bunch of government officials without seeing evidence to back it up. (If it were true, as he claims, that …
