Regrettably around a third (300) of WaPo's staff lost their jobs yesterday gutting foreign news…read morebureaus, eliminating sports coverage and generally abandoning ancillary sections like books. For perspective over 109,000 layoffs were announced across the country in January. So, while the slaughter at The Post makes headlines, the overall trendlne for layoffs is not good. The world's second or third wealthiest man Jeff Bezos probably got tired of losing 100 mil a year since he bought the paper from the Graham family for 250 million in 2014 having to endure a cratering in circulation and advertising (both down 40%+ from the time of his purchase.) As a former digital subscriber, I franky grew tired of editorial based entirely on chronicling the "resistance" to Trump but going curiously mute to the foibles of the home team (90% of WaPo's journalists are registered Democrats.) I have no problem with savaging the GOP who no doubt richly deserve the lash when they behave badly but... the axe should swing both ways. It has been said that Bezos can easily absorb the losses as a civic duty since he can carry The Post for five years on what he makes in a single month. He could -- but maybe he's looking to reinvent the paper hewing closer to the on-demand podcast, YouTube model where the vast majority of Americans now get their news. Or, he could just be a rapacious plunderer looking for a quick exit. Whatever the case, the era of Woodward and Berstein was over a half century ago -- something clearly needed to change. I think I'll resubscribe just to keep tabs. Five optimistic stars.

This is an update of my five star review of the Washington Post shortly after Jeff Bezos purchased…read moreour local newspaper in Washington DC some years ago. I then gave him a positive shout out for taking an hands off approach and allowing the Post to continue printing an enjoyable, trustworthy and fact based local newspaper. My one star review reflects my great disappointment as time has past his hiring of right wing pals--one directly imported from England with limited experience in writing for a rag publication there. The absolute last straw was Bezos personal interference with the Post Editorial page recently by having the nascent editorial endorsement for Kamala Harris for President of the United States pulled suddenly and at the last moment. The Editor of the Editorial Page has since resigned in protest---and I, too, write in protest. Is Bezos afraid of Donald Trump's threat of investigations and retributions or is Bezos bending the knee currying favor to Trump to enhance his opportunity to gain even more power, prestige...and money. Just unbelievable! VotevotevoteBlueBlueBlue
