Why is the Washington Post cratering so spectacularly? | Margaret Sullivan To understand the change in Washington Post’s fortunes, it is worth comparing its demise to the New York Times’s trajectory

And here's @sulliview.bsky.social on how the NYT and WP pursued very different paths, and personnel, with alternately fantastic or disastrous results. (She worked at both places.)

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

YouTube video by MS NOW Lawrence: No Republicans show up as victims of Trump-encouraged ICE shootings testify

"Who are the domestic terrorists in that story?" Lawrence O' Donnell on a citizen shot 5 times by ICE. That citizen was labeled a domestic terrorist. No GOP showed up for a hearing on ICE.

Academics and pundits spend too much time quibbling over whether the Trump regime is “authoritarian” or “fascist.” What is not debatable: a regime that abuses, terrorizes, and neglects children — and engages in a cover-up of monstrous sex crimes against kids — is evil.

Is Jeff Bezos going to destroy the Washington Post? It sure looks like it | Margaret Sullivan He has the chance to be the steward of a national treasure, but he’s blowing it

Bezos should "reverse course" at the Post, writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

The American Conservative Movement Has Failed Assuming the republic survives, we will have to pick up the pieces. But first we must understand who and what brought us

Trump didn’t hijack conservatism—he’s a product of it.

The question is whether the conservative movement will have a future or not.

And notice how many reactionary centrist Free Speech Defenders™️ who repeatedly concern troll anyone about protecting 1A rights whenever "maybe ppl shouldnt be bigots" comes up are suddenly & conspicuously silent on all of this
