Their coverage is why I cancelled the NY Times this year even though I admired many of its features and reporters. It is a sad decline for a once nationally acclaimed newspaper.

Apparently WP owner Bezos has done a "Catch and Kill' on the Washington Post: he has taken a liberal newspaper and turned it over to Murdoch's people to ruin. Much like the National Enquirer bought and buried Trump's sordid life.
I assume bringing in the folks from Jolly Old was meant to fly below the radar. This is what Comcast and John Malone were attempting to do with CNN except it backfired after Trump's Town Hall. The right wingers just can't stand having anyone standing up to them, presenting a different view. All would be happier with Trump and Vlad. And I guess both WP and NYT have been sidling over to the Right in anticipation of Trump's win in the Fall.
The WP and NYT are fools if they think going MAGA will get more subscribers. 1) MAGA crowd are not great readers of anything, and 2) for Trump there is no such thing as enough sucking up to him. Bezos and Sulzburgers are not fools.
Therefore, I think they simply want an extreme right-wing government which will be subject to their will. Well, the titans of Geman industry and banking thought they could control Hitler, too.
One thing. I don't believe either Bezos or Sulzbergers imagine themselves dealing with Trump, rather the people who control Trump....the NAR writ large.
Some people have figured out the "over 37,000 dead Palestinians" casualty figures are absurd - leaving out the over 12,000 Hamas terrorists, including every single civilian death from any cause whatsoever, systematically failing to note that Hamas has been arming children for over a decade (only one of their many war crimes), failing to clarify that about 12% of the thousands of missiles and mortars launched at Israel's civilians by Hamas and Islamic Jihad explode and fall INSIDE GAZA, failing to note that Hamas and IJ routinely murder their internal opponents, or Palestinians trying to stop them from stealing humanitarian food and medicine shipments, etc. It takes more effort to understand the deaths in context of a war where the aggressive genocidal terrorists embed themselves in every imaginable kind of civilian infrastructure - and that using their own civilians as human shields (more like `human sacrifices'!) is by no means a conclusive proof that if their victims legally seeking to exercise their right to self-defense kill the shields in the course of attempting to kill the terrorists have committed any kind of crime at all - especially the way the IDF has been trying to do it, warning the civilians, not required by the laws of war, leaflets, ditto.
May it end soon, but whoever comes after the godawful Netanyahu will still have to refuse to surrender to terrorists.

Yes, I did as well. And am letting my WP expire this coming week at least until they sort themselves out. https://presswatchers.org/2024/06/beware-the-tory-takeover-of-the-washington-post/ Neither one of them can figure out which side they should be on.

And this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/06/08/gaza-protest-white-house-red-line/ -- Thousands circle White House to demand Biden enforce Gaza тАШred lineтАЩ -- Demonstrators said that if President Biden would not draw a тАЬred lineтАЭ after Israeli forces began an assault on Rafah, they would draw the red line for him.
...with ONE brief mention of ... oh yeah, Hamas' attack. No mention of THAT "red line" written in blood. And none about hostages.
Hamas was worse to the Palestinians than the Israelis. No one protesting that!
Are you looking for sympathy?
I sympathize with anyone who has swallowed the endless lies and distortions about all sorts of issues in this mess, here's some corrective coverage:

I did the same.
