      He’s squeezing it dry, it’s losing money, it’s going of fucking business. He bought a propaganda rag to whitewash his deeds, and he’s tearing it apart for pennies.

        Yeah, i saw that. The entire budget is a rounding error on his daily capital gains, he could run it at a 100% loss til the sun burns out. And he just doesn’t? He has total editorial control of a paper of record and he’s… cannibalizing it? What in the entire fuck is happening in that man’s skull?

          We are perhaps weeks away from finding out he’s making the WaPo journalists piss in bottles to meet quotas. He’s just that depraved about “”“efficiency”“”

      Yeah, like in the UK we have two free papers given out on the tube. The Metro and the Evening Standard.

      They are ultra, hardcore propaganda rags and if you see anyone reading them you should laugh at them and then fart on their face.

    I love that last title, feels like the author is trying to convince themselves more than the audience. “No seriously, this is important, and it’s important for me to write about it! I’m a journalist!” They tell themselves this every night as they cry into their bottle of whiskey.

      lmao when you have the existential crisis of realizing that instead of becoming a journalist you’ve become a cheap propagandist for some rich asshole
