Those attacking me for pointing to a statement Jonathan Capehart made at Substack about choosing to leave Washington Post seem to have missed the point that Jonathan Capehart made that statement at Substack.
I refuse to play these divisive purity games in which ostensible leftists beef up the agenda of the hard right by attacking allies — because I have neither the privilege nor the luxury of playing those games. Try them with me and I'll hit the mute button.
Jonathan Capehart explains why he has now left Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, siphoning yet more brilliance and truth from that cesspool of a journalistic enterprise:
"We’re supposed to ignore [what's happening to the country under Trump]? Leave it to others to wrestle with on their news pages and websites? No, no, no, no, no, said in 'Get Out.'”
Bravo, #MSNBC, for letting Jonathan Capehart resign from The Washington Post on air tonight!!
And bravo Jonathan for leaving The Post behind.
A good walk spoiled...
Washington Post talent exodus fuels speculation about its future

"Meanwhile, too many mainstream media outlets assume a posture of objectivity and ;fairness' that makes them do ridiculous things. For example, the Associated Press recently quoted convicted liar Roger Stone in a story about how Trump is supposedly “a changed man” after the assassination attempt.
Both the Washington Post and the New York Times embrace this type of false fairness."
Hey Washington Post: Fuck your optimism!!
Readers want (and are paying for) truth.
This Washington Post opinion piece by the Editorial Board published yesterday is one of the most fawning, normalizing, vile and disgusting pieces about Trump I have ever read.
You are the ball gags of fascism. I hope your nuts rot.
FUCK YOU, WASHINGTON POST!!!
@heidilifeldman When the history of this era is written, the collapse of the #WashingtonPost and #NewYorkTimes should play a significant role.
We love you, Joe Davidson!
Bezos is a whore.

Exhibit #492.1A on why I cancelled my subscription
First Dog on the Moon comments brilliantly on the fatuous look-at-me preening of the super-rich Mr. Bezos of Amazon and WaPo ill repute as he marries again in Venice — and as Italians protest this orgy of self-indulgence.

The Washington Post has been the victim of a cyberattack, with the attackers compromising the email accounts of several journalists, specifically those reporting on national security, economics, and China.
Some speculate this attack was the work of a nation state threat actor. If this is the case, this attack has concerning implications for the freedom of the press.
