RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.

So Marty Baron says it plain: “It was only weeks ago that The Post described itself as providing coverage for ‘all of America,’” Baron wrote in his statement. “Now its opinion pages will be open to only some of America, those who think exactly as he does.” http://www.thedailybeast.com//ex-wapo-edi…

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section – makes clear dissenting views will not be publishedI still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Why I Left the Washington <em>Post</em>www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w… Well, interesting but misleading. The Grahams ran the paper in her early days. A great paper. Technology has altered everything for NYT, LAT, BG… Everything. Bezos no doubt took it as a loss leader. Things drifted.
