‘Democracy Dies Below The Fold’*
I’ll reiterate what a lot of smart people are saying: The WaPo had to die so Jeff Bezos can get richer. That’s the story. As Fran Lebowitz says (paraphrasing), “No one makes a billion dollars, they STEAL IT." Besides all the damage that Bezos has done to the Mom & Pops on Main Street via Amazon (and inflicting the alleged documentary about the First Shady on us), he’s now decimated the WaPo as some sort of offering to Hair Füror.
