I resisted cancelling my WP subscription for a long time but I'd finally had enough shortly before the 2024 election. Screw Jeff Bezos and the editorial section of the WP.

His destruction of WaPo -- the self-inflicted drop in subscribers, starting with blocking WaPo's presidential endorsement, and following up with instance after instance of kowtowing to the felon -- has all been to protect Amazon's stock price and his equity state.

Some way, somehow, we must expand the boycott of Amazon until it is big enough to do far more damage to him than Trump ever could have. It is tough. I've been working on my step-father to cancel his subscription and buy direct from merchants. He is still too addicted to the convenience and likes Prime Video. Arrrggghhh. Makes me crazy. While some people are losing their lives to the regime propped up by the likes of Bezos and other corporate bootlickers, others can't bring themselves to sacrifice a little convenience.

The oligarchs buy up the media, then destroy the media. I bet he Bezos gets a great tax write off.

Tax the oligarchs!

I'm somebody! I've always wanted to be somebody!

He'll make it back in a couple of days. These guys don't even try hiding it anymore.

She's near retirement age, so hope she resigns soon. Bezos doesn't deserve to own a major daily newspaper.

... Are there any hospital wings honoring Bezos' generosity? Are there any charities that bear his name? Has he ever done anything good for people in need? Has he made contributions to areas devastated by natural disasters? I would think we'd hear something about it if he had, but... crickets.
It would appear that he's just an insufferably rotten, pathologically selfish prick. I would like to be wrong about this, but I don't think I am. One can't be a Trump supporter and a good person. They are mutually exclusive concepts.

No one should have enough money to bankrupt entire countries. Amazon should be broken up.

TIA...

The purchase by Bezos being just the beginning, since it cost them a ton of subscribers.

at the mere cost of an estimated $46-$56 Million.

Guess he didn't get an invite.

Also, I don't believe they're losing $100 million.
So, Bezos could absorb those losses on on week of wealth for longer than 5 years.

I hope he goes down with the rest of them. Do the crime, pay the fine.

perhaps it wouldn't be losing a purported $100M per year. Cancelled my subscription over the Harris endorsement flap.

he really is...................

Or editors?

You can just make up whatever news you want with an LLM!
No more inconvenient stories from Eurasia, no more bad publicity about your movie that nobody can stand to watch, no more backtalk!

You can just sit behind your big desk, and dictate the stories you want the plebes to believe!

Fuck Bezos......he kisses Trumps ass. He was there at Trumps inauguration up front looking proud and rich.

I get at least a dozen emails a week from them with dirt cheap prices to resubscribe. Today’s was an offer for $0.50/week. It went into the bin as soon as a saw it in my inbox. I wouldn’t read now even if it was free.

and wind up paying less than a fry-cook at McDonald's.

I canceled my Washington Post subscription, Amazon Prime, monthly Audible subscription, and will not be going to Whole Foods anymore. Anything I missed?

because I need something to put under the litter box. Now I think I'll buy The New York Times for that.

When I started delivering, a subscription cost $1.75 per month, delivered to the door. That went up to $1.95 as some point, which was great for me, because some of my more generous customers would give ne a 5 cent tip. Today, the WP isn't worth $1.75 a month, and certainly not $1.95, except maybe for the comic strips. The comic strips were great in those days.
