Jeff Tiedrich -what the fuck, Jeff Bezos? democracy -- and the Washington Post -- dies up the oligarchy's ass

imagine you’re a war correspondent for a major American newspaper. you’ve been assigned to cover the war in Ukraine. conditions totally fucking suck. there’s no heat, electricity or running water.

but you’re not bothered by any of that shit. you love your job — because it’s enthralling. there’s nothing else like it in the world.

now imagine you’re in the middle of doing all that, when out of the clear blue, you get an email telling you that your job’s gone fuckity-bye.

if you’re Washington Post reporter Lizzie Johnson, you don’t have to imagine — because that’s exactly what just happened.

...rather than allow it to convulse slowly to death. Give the remaining employees a reason to leave and go somewhere else. Maybe Jeff can buy the New York Times next and slowly bleed it to death too. Trump would be very happy.

Sorry, I am in a pretty foul mood today.
