Will Lewis' first year at 'Washington Post': Cancellations, red ink and an exodus Subscribers and star journalists have fled the Post in its first year under CEO and Publisher Will Lewis. Now staff have signed a petition asking owner Jeff Bezos to intervene.

Let's remember, Bezos' destruction of WaPo's already began in 2023 with his hiring of Will Lewis as CEO.

How Jeff Bezos Reacts to 'Negative' Amazon Articles in the Washington Post President Trump has accused the paper of being the "Amazon Washington Post" because the tech company's CEO owns it.

Compare 2026's destruction of WaPo with how it fared in 2018.
When a billionaire owner does nothing, journalism flourishes.
Once he decides to do something, it implodes.

Some years ago, RottenTomatoes was full of culture warriors who didn't watch the movie but poured endless empty criticism.

Then RT started 'verified audience,' and only ticket buyers got to pitch in.

Now, [Melania] is full of culture warriors who buy the ticket and pour endless empty praise.

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results.
This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.
The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
We need people to:
1. "buy" the book (it's free)
2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book.
That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Israeli air strikes kill at least 28 Palestinians in Gaza, rescue officials say Israel's military confirmed the strikes, which come during a ceasefire that Israel and Hamas accuse each other of breaking.

Whatever they may want to call it, this is definitely not a ceasefire. And yes, we can still categorize it as genocide based on any established criteria.

We need to seize this framing and build it out so it is the theme of the summer, in light of the 250th anniversary of 1776. Trump is going to try so hard to appropriate this for himself, but we need to make it about the renewal of our common revolutionary ideals versus the tyranny of the king.
