Washington Post dies in the dark

 

Some turbulence on our way down. 

The Washington Post (following the orders of its owner Jeff Bezos) recently refused to endorse Kamala Harris for president. In response, 200,000 readers already cancelled their subscriptions. Some writers resigned from the editorial board. And Bezos himself admits that old style media are struggling with increased competition from alt-media (or perhaps "alt" media, but you get the point). 

Part of me wonders if Bezos wants to kill off WaPo, for whatever weird tax-scheme reason. But a more likely explanation is (of course) that he has some bizniz going with the federal government and don´t want to lose his contracts if and when Trump wins the elections. Bezos himself claims that he wants to save the newspaper by making it look less biased...
