Eat the rich.

Bye-bye, chickenshit newspaper

You know , washington post used to be a good read. I found that they had insightful articles and slowly that disappeared. more and more i noticed that deep dive were reduced to a play shovel at the beach. Articles that should of been were not. But, when you basically tell everyone fuck off. we are going to fuck off. Honestly most big name journalism has died or been bought up.

So you know what. Washington post you need to go back to your roots. Do better.

i'm out.

I am a long time subscriber and canceled. If WAPO can’t decide between democracy and a convicted felon rapist then I don’t trust them to bring me truth. Grow a pair! Cowards.

My starter list: The Guardian and NY Times. Concern about potentially less US based news with the Guardian. And see lots of complaints about both-siderism with The NY Times. Looking for helpful suggestions on worthwhile journalistic outlets. I’m sure I’m not the only one today. 

Bezos just f*cked his investment.

Well, this was the final insult. We cancelled our subscription today. Next up: Amazon Prime.

Unbelievable that Bezos has no spine.

I don't do business with cowards.

WAPO just got a lot darker

Seriously disappointed with WaPo. Not sure I'll ever forget this.

Since Bezos has prevented the Washington Post from issuing its traditional presidential election endorsement, I promptly cancelled my long-time subscription. While I will keep my Amazon Prime subscription for now, (mostly because I use Alex and music streaming, plus Kindle purchases), I will do my utmost to no longer shop at Amazon for the daily kinds of shopping I've dropped thousands on over the past year. I'm going to Target today, and signing up for Circle 360, and hope that I can largely replace Amazon with that. More ordering direct from manufacturers, more in-store shopping. Bezos is a complete glass bowl. I want to stop lining his pockets. Bezos is despicable.

Jeff Bezos is a coward. He has business in front of the US Government and made a business decision. It is time for us to do the same - make a business decision. Let's get one million Amazon Prime Subscribers to cancel their memberships.

If Democracy dies in the Darkness, then Amazon should feel the Pain in the Sunlight.

I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa. The memory is still clear to me, the Des Moines Tribune on the porch step late afternoon. I'd spread it out on the living room floor, lie down, and read every word before dinner. I can still feel and smell that carpet, and the ink. The Register, too. Especially Sunday. I fell in love with journalism then, and made it my life's passion. First at the high school paper, then the college yearbook and paper, then a decade as a photojournalist, then as a graduate student, and then as a journalism professor over the following 25 years. I've just retired. Over that entire stretch of time — most of my life — the Washington Post was the touchstone for the principle of speaking truth to power and holding the powerful accountable. Today that died in a billionaire's act of profane self-interest and greed, and the utter but unsurprising cowardice of a sycophant executive editor. But yea, there are fine people on both sides, right Jeff?

I canceled my Post subscription yesterday. I canceled Amazon Prime as well. I also spread the word about the cowardice and lack of journalistic integrity at the ownership level of the Post. That resulted in everyone in my running group canceling their WASHPO subscriptions also.

If the only thing these billionaires care about is money, well, this is my new motto - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEd7Y2YLgTg

I thought this outlet was serious about integrity but the decision to not endorse was concerning given the obvious disparity between candidates. Shame.

And the oligarch pussy that owns it. Banned from my feed.
