The Washington Post blew its chance
By Dan Froomkin -October 13, 2023 11:00 am EDT
Awash in Jeff Bezosian cash, the Washington Post over the past decade wildly expanded its staff but didn’t change its strategy.
And now that the Trump-inflated readership has dwindled and the book-cooking publisher is gone, the Post finds itself back in a death spiral of cuts and diminished accomplishments, just like it was before Bezos bought it in 2013.
Management never had any clear idea of how the Post would make enough money to sustain itself — just overly rosy projections.
Newsroom leaders never even attempted to make the desperately needed adjustments required to accurately cover a changed political climate, poisoned by lies from an increasingly unhinged Republican Party.
And there was never any clear guidance about how the Post was dealing with the enormous conflicts of interest posed by its owner’s sprawling business empire.
…………………………
So, conservatively speaking, half a million people have canceled their subscriptions to the Post in the last three years.
That’s a lot of cancelled subscriptions.
And while some of that loss can surely be attributed to changing appetites for news, there’s no question that a goodly chunk has canceled out of disappointment with the paper’s hallmark political coverage.
My theory is that while Trump was president, simply reporting the news seemed like accountability journalism enough that many readers felt the Post was doing a good job — was fighting the good fight.
But even after the January 6 insurrection made it undeniably clear that our democracy is now under sustained attack from the far-right, the Post has maintained its dispassionate, above-it-all tone instead of sounding the alarm.
The dedication to BOTH SIDERISM is what has doomed the MSM as a whole.
When there is only one working Political Party in this country.
And, the other party has devolved into an obstructionist bunch of authoritarians…
But, you don’t want to connect the dots and see how and what they are doing all across the country when they are in charge..
All the while telling those of us who ARE connecting the dots and see what a mess the Republican Party is and what a danger it is to the country….
They aren’t going to spend their good earned money for you to dismiss their concerns and try to gaslight that the nightmare we see isn’t a nightmare.
People are tired of a MSM not willing to do their jobs.

It’s not a comms problem on the part of the @JoeBiden campaign, it’s a media urge to cover Trump wall-to-wall. It’s also a frequent low of steadily chasing polls (which prove themselves false time & again) in lieu of strong Biden policies, results and public engagement

If they had just covered President Biden for what he has done, straight forward, no chaser. But, they didn’t do that. They continuously lied on President Biden and his Administration, all the while pretending that the Republicans aren’t hateful nightmares for the country.

What Witness Tampering?
Published by digby on June 3, 2024
We’ve all seen the threats and the pardon dangling Trump has done from the moment he became president. He even asked the director of the FBI to go easy on his buddy Michael Flynn and then fired him when he refused to do it. The corruption is boundless.
And now we find out he’s literally paying people off as well. Pro Publica has a big expose today showing that some of the witnesses in the criminal cases against him have been given fancy jobs, cash bonuses, board seats, shares in his companies and plum jobs for family members often at very important times in the legal process. And the dollar amounts are impressive.
Recall the recent story of Brian Butler, the Mar-a-Lago employee who witnessed the handling of those bankers boxes full of classified document and came forward to say that he was offered a new job with a big raise. Cassidy Hutchinson was offered a job and they sent her a lawyer paid by the campaign. This is how they operate.
According to the experts they interviewed, cases like this are very difficult to prove. But prosecutors will certainly use the information to question these witnesses credibility if Trump is ever brought to trial on these charges.

And we have a Supreme Court Justice lying about the first flag and pushing blame onto his wife for both.

How is this asshole speaking for Black women?
He doesn’t even like Black women.
Why can’t they love her without bringing up Black women?
That’s what Black men like him do. They can never just love ⚪️women without having Black women’s name in their mouth.

The Roberts Supreme Court is the worst since the shameful days of Roger Taney’s Supreme Court.
Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump appointees are Republican partisan hacks.
We need radical reform — and we need it the moment Dems regain control of Congress.

Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.
The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee.
