LT42 That Hispanic “town hall” Trump did was abysmal, none of them bought anything he said. He looks tired of his own bullshit at this stage.
Mad_Cyril “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Along_the_Wire Bezos announcing that the Washington Post won’t be backing any candidate for any election. 200,000 subscriptions gone overnight, including mine.
Wasily Along_the_Wire Can you explain to me why this WAPO endorsement or lack thereof has created such a shit storm? I get the reasons why Bezos might support this ‘neutral’ stance (Trump odds on to win etc), but why is it so important to the readers that the paper takes a position? Is it the perception of external influence/control or spinelessness? I personally wouldn’t bat an eyelid if the NYT didn’t officially support Harris, even though the editorial board clearly do.
Along_the_Wire Wasily it’s a left leaning title, people subscribe to it mostly for that reason. It’s obvious that Bezos is covering his ass on it in case Trump comes through. Don’t buy the WAPO in the first place if this is a concern. It’s been a bit shit for a couple of years now, so this is just confirmation as to why. Imagine The Gurdian taking a neutral position for a similar reason?
Wasily Along_the_Wire Imagine The Gurdian taking a neutral position for a similar reason? I had this in mind when I asked the question. My thinking was the Guardian is so left leaning that not making a position statement wouldn’t surprise me in the least given their coverage- making an actual statement of ‘neutrality’ would undermine the credibility of their writers, but unlike the Guardian who are not regulated like WAPO is, this seems more damning for Bezos. Not sure I’d cancel my digi on these grounds though if I genuinely enjoyed the articles. Have a safe trip x
Along_the_Wire Wasily Cheers Alex! I’ve read the Post for years - initially just used it for NFL news, but got drawn in - they won’t have many Republican readers that’s for sure - the comments sections are very solidly behind the Democrats - Bezos has really fucked up here and is obviously shitting himself about repercussions should Trump get voted in. Gutless.
