Alternate (More accurate) Headline:
Washington Post editorial writers’ endorsement of Kamala Harris stopped by CEO“The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election,” wrote Will Lewis, The Post’s chief executive. “Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”
The Washington Post’s editorial writers had already drafted an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to four people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive newsroom matters.
So much for Democracy Dies in Darkness
A promise, not a warning?
that’s all I’ve ever seen it as.
That’s all it ever was. Well, besides being a sick joke.
Apparently so.
The Onion’s ironic? slogan is ‘Twilight’s Last Gleaming’… which is now essentially a perfect parody of WaPo’s slogan, in that it is now 100% accurate.
I was wondering how long Bezos would leave them to their devices. He’s been far more cautious about revealing his politics but Amazon’s frothing anti-union subterfuge speaks at least something for itself.
He’s typically left WaPo alone, so I just wonder whether what’s changed is that Bezos feels the writing is on the wall. Maybe sensing a Trump victory, like the hyper rational alien he is, he decided blocking a Harris endorsement is the right move to position himself best for the post-democracy, oligarchical and fascist America on the horizon.
He figures that if Trump wins, he will seek retribution, but if Harris wins, she will not seek retaliation at all. Which would you choose, if you had no morals and didn’t mind casual fascism as long as you get to keep your insane wealth?
Fuck Bezos.
Huh, that’s an interesting new Amazon User Policy update.
Absolute 100% pure, uncut, organic, artisinal bullshit.
Fuck the WaPo. Shit eating cowards.
Stop shopping, Amazon. It’s making everything worse.
Our oligarchs are drooling over how much power they imagine gaining in a Trump presidency and will do everything they can to ensure the manipulible fascist wins so they can have the kleptocracy they have been dreaming of for years.
And they’ll keep dreaming about it right on out the 3rd story window if he does win.
“But I didn’t do anything wrong!” - Last thoughts of a fascist oligarch.
