The Washington Post laid off 300 people recently, but it has been dying for over a decade.
The paper laid off its sports team, photographers, and many of its climate change reporters.
What caused its decline? First, many Washington Post stories were painfully bad and written to confirm the biases of Democratic voters.
Shut down the rest of the paper. pic.twitter.com/ylnqRNVS74

Here's how the Jeff Bezos/Tim Cook propaganda machine works:

1. The dying @washingtonpost publishes an anti-American or anti-Trump story
2. The thriving @AppleNews re-publishes the biased story (by far Apple's favorite outlet is WashPo)
3. The half of American voters who own an… https://t.co/VLjoQC8i6C
Second, there was little variety of ideas among many writers, even their 20 or so climate reporters, who all believed the world is melting and dying.
The Washington Post newsroom was a veritable melting pot of intellectual diversity. There were leftists from Brown, leftists from Yale, leftists from Columbia….

Some defended WaPo’s work, including Wall Street Journal writer Peggy Noonan. But when was the last time that the Washington Post regularly broke news? Instead, now it runs think pieces and slop instead of hard-hitting, investigative work. The world might have needed good investigative journalism the most during the COVID pandemic, but WaPo didn't deliver that.

Third, the newspaper's daily story output drastically dropped. WaPo's "daily story output has substantially fallen in the last five years," WaPo editor Matt Murray told the New York Times. I don't know what these 300 people were doing for the past five years, but they apparently weren't writing many stories.
The point of journalism is to make money, because without it, your paper will fail.
Having lived through Covid, BLM, and the coverup of Joe Biden's senility, I'm going to have to disagree with Peggy Noonan about this one. https://t.co/FOSViqSNVx

Fourth, even after 300 people were laid off, WaPo is still bad. The newspaper apparently believed that the most important player of the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 was Colin Kaepernick, a social justice warrior who isn’t competing today.
“The most relevant figure to Super Bowl LX is . . Colin Kaepernick.”

Sat across from Kaepernick on a flight. An old lady came up, asked for an autograph for her grandson. He dismissively said "I don't do that". She returned to her seat, embarrassed.

WaPo writers still think he's worthy of a pedestal. Good riddance to their endless white guilt. https://t.co/iYo1Z8Hg28
Is there anyone who thinks Kaepernick is the “most relevant” figure in Super Bowl LX who is not an activist for a corporate media outlet? https://t.co/X54uWqFqsX
