Jeff Bezos Orders His Leftwing Rag to Run Columns on the Topics of "Free Markets" and "Personal Liberties;" Opinion Editor "Steps Away" Rather Than Implementing the Plan

I've said this a dozen times already, but it is pointless for these toxic Marxist propaganda mills to attempt to change their reputations. It's like a woman attempting to regain her lost virtue after blowing the entire town. She'll never shed that reputation. She may wind up landing a man, but she's got a much smaller pool of suitors to work with. Many men will just say "pass."

Jeff Bezos will just have to accept that the Post is an amateurish Anxiety Porn publication for leftwing weirdoes and pedophiles, and reduce staff accordingly. There is no way the Post can be "restored" to being acceptable to normies.

His latest hare-brained idea is to force the leftwing op-ed page to once in a while speak up in favor of milquetoast libertarian ideas like "free markets" and "personal liberties." I guess he thought these subjects were so anodyne that not even his incompetent, insubordinate employees could object.

Wrong! The left now considers talk about "personal liberties," and people having any rights whatsoever against the oppressive government, as "incipient fascism."

It's pathetic, just pathetic.

The opinion page editor left the paper rather than push fascist ideas like personal liberty.

Jeff Bezos
@JeffBezos
I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:
I'm writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.
There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.
I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America's success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical -- it minimizes coercion -- and practical -- it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn't "hell yes," then it had to be "no." After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won't be easy, and it will require 100% commitment -- I respect his decision. We'll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.

I'm confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I'm excited for us together to fill that void.

Jeff

Here was the Post's leftwing firebrand -- I mean, careful and honest reporter of facts -- Philip Bump's reaction:

Philip Bump has pushed every leftwing op -- from the RussiaGate "dossier" to claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian fake -- while screaming that it's the right which lives in self-selected bubbles of unreality.

He gave a Ted talk about this. Well, TEDx. He's not a big enough celebrity for a full TED talk.

The New York Times, on the other hand, has no questions about what they really are: A Democrat propaganda outfit, period, full stop.

Great news, but the chat messages contained more than "sexual themes." They weren't discussing symbolism in Madame Bovary. They were talking about cutting off their genitals, enjoying piss fetishes, and organizing gangbangs on official intel agency servers! pic.twitter.com/1sD6ZbrtbP

There have been several high-profile conversions to the Church in the last couple of years. Actors, porn stars, satanists, even.

The victory they gain isn't a mate, but the salvation of their soul, and it is the greatest of all miracles. What going is raising someone from the dead if they're going to go to hell in the end?

The Washington Post is a brand. A tarnished brand. it is of this work and cannot be redeemed. Bezos can fire everyone and start over, or just shut it down and start over, which is probably easier and more effective.

- They would have to fire about 1/3 of staff and hire serious newsmen
- It would go against every social norm of where they are -- DC.
- They would have to hire from outside the usual schools, and then keep those people away from the corruption of DC.

I think screwing with a body's natural hormones can have unintended consequences. We did an experiment in highschool in which we injected female chickens with testosterone. The ones that survived were abnormally large, layed 4 yolk eggs, and were vicious. Killed normal chickens in the coop, attacked anything that came in their range. Conclusion of the experiment was don't give females male hormones. I suppose the converse would be simillar.

A long time in coming, I think.

Recently, the White House informed the MSM that the White House will the sole authority for press access to the Oval Office.

Then, a DC federal court dismissed the White House Correspondents' suit on behalf of the AP access restriction. The grounds for dismissal was that the WHCC had no authority in being or standing for the suit. He ridiculed the suit from the bench.

Yesterday, the White House said that it would pick and choose which reporters will accompany the President on travel and in the press room. Not even a murmur from the public.

Even Jeff Bezos can figure out who the strong horse is.

202 Haven't seen this posted on AoS yet, but the Horde will be interested. OMB issued a memo today about agency RIFs and reorganizations.

Phase one - govt agencies required to submit plans for large scale RIFs and cost savings by March 15

Phase two - govt agencies required to submit restructuring plans by April 15 with an eye towards implementation by Sept 30. This includes office closures or moves.

Monthly status updates due in May, June and July.
