Why I'm quitting the Washington Post
Why I'm quitting the Washington Post
Democracy can't function without a free press
Lobbyism plays an enormous role in the USA's political system. It's unfortunate the WaPo is unwilling to recognize this fact.
oh, they are aware. They just don't want to openly acknowledge it because they are pro-lobbyism, and that stance doesn't play well with their readers.
You’re about a decade late to the party. WaPo is trash owned by a more boring Lex Luthor.
Quitting Washington Post for the pro-Nazi Substack? Ok.
Out of the loop, what links it to Nazism?
It refuses to root out Nazis that use the platform in the name of "free speech", and it's happy to profit off of their use of the platform. They eventually partly backed down after a sustained campaign, but only agreed to ban a small number of prominent Nazi blogs without changing their general stance.
And of course, they draw the line on "free speech" at sexual content, including the blogs of sex workers. So the pro-Nazi stance starts looking less like a misguided principle of free speech (which would, frankly, be bad enough on its own) and more a decision to explicitly allow Nazis.
Seems the end of the Washington Post as a serious and reliable news outlet. It will not be the last in the current anti truth wave.
