[The New Yorker]: Why I Left the Washington Post.
Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided to quit. By Ruth Marcus, Wednesday, March 12, 2025

"#Boycott and resist institutions/companies that have continually aligned with the interests of #Trump:
- Get off #Twitter/X and find different EV cars. If you want an electric car, buy something else. Elon #Musk is wreaking havoc.
- Don’t buy from #Amazon and unsubscribe from The #WashingtonPost. #JeffBezos owns both The Washington Post and much of Amazon. He dictates WAPO editorial content in favor of the oligarchy and funds Trump interests.
- Boycott #AirBnB! #JoeGebbia, co-founder of Air B&B, has joined #DOGE.
- Unsubscribe from the #LATimes! #PatrickSoon-Shiong owns the LA Times, and dictates editorial decisions that support the slide to fascism.

The image features a parody of an IKEA advertisement. At the top, there is the iconic blue and yellow IKEA logo. Below the logo, the text "Oligarkchöp" is written in a font similar to IKEA's product names. The image humorously depicts a wooden guillotine, shown both assembled and in a flat-pack form, mimicking the style of IKEA's furniture assembly illustrations.
This is pretty rich coming from a US company at a time like this... at least they spelled favourite correctly 
a “stunning reversal”
the #GreedyBastards at Agent Orange's swearing in on 20Jan – #fElonMusk, #MarkZuckerberg & #JeffBezos – watched their piles of money crash by a staggering $210 BILLION combined

Free Speech
Freedom selon Jeff Bezos
Liquider les journalistes qui ne lui conviennent pas, censurer les articles qui ne sont pas à sa dévotion
Il n'y aura bientôt plus que des Larbins au Washington Post.

In a thorough confirmation of #TimothySnyder's argument that #WashingtonPost's new "personal liberties & free market" editorial policy is fundamentally dehumanizing because of how it subjugates humans to fictional notions, #WaPo calls the Trump stock market crash "sustained heavy losses" — words usually used to describe casualties of #war. On behalf of everyone who was killed by #Russia in #Ukraine, fuck you #JeffBezos.

Stay the course! NO AMAZON, MARCH 7 THROUGH 14, 2025!
Via #DailyKos, 4:30pm ET, Mar 10, 2025
#Amazon announced on Monday that it will begin streaming old episodes of “The Apprentice,” the reality competition show that helped President Donald #Trump sell himself as a national figure before becoming a #politician.
This move is the latest in a series of pro-Trump decisions by Amazon owner #JeffBezos, who has recently pivoted his companies and personal wealth to benefit Trump and the #RepublicanParty.
Gene Weingarten notes that Ruth Marcus was also an Associate Editor of Washington Post, "and was so well thought of that when Opinions editor Fred Hiatt died suddenly in December 2021, she was appointed interim editor, along with Karen Tumulty."

"What a perfect encapsulation of our media moment: a billionaire buys a storied newspaper, blocks endorsements, mandates coverage aligned with his ideology, and then silences anyone who dares question the new direction—all while claiming to champion "personal liberties."

"I am taking this step, after more than 40 years at The Post, following Will's decision to spike a column that I wrote expressing a concern about the newly announced direction for the section and declined to discuss the decision with me."
Molloy says,
"This is what happens when newspapers are run like authoritarian fiefdoms instead of journalistic institutions."

Columnist Ruth Marcus has quit the Washington Post, saying publisher Will Lewis killed an op-ed critical of Jeff Bezos' edict about the paper's opinion section. Lewis' decision "underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded," Marcus said. Here's more from @npr.
