Ann Telnaes is one of the finest political cartoonists we have. The rage & contempt emanating from this artwork is stunning. #WashingtonPost #AnnTelnaes #JeffBezos #FascistEnabler

‘Things happen’
#WashingtonPost Editorial Board
Setting the record straight about our murdered colleague.
The #US govt often advances its interests by working with nasty people, & #SaudiArabia Crown Prince #MBS is one of the nastiest. It’s one thing…to reluctantly deal with him…[but] #Trump’s performance at the White House Tuesday was something else entirely: #weak, #crass & of no strategic benefit to US.

It's important to stop thinking of major newspapers as "News Organizations"
They aren't.
They're Oligarch Marketing Departments.
They're funded the same way billionaires maintain Politician Bribery slushfunds.
After the news about the massive layoffs at the Washington Post broke, the team at @Flipboard created this Surf Feed of independent journalists. Enjoy it as is, or create a new feed using it as the source, then filter it according to the topics you're interested in, from news to video games.

These people, and others at the #WashingtonPost, were heroes to me when I was 18 years old in 1974, watching their work bring down #Nixon and his cadre of thugs.
This was long before the movie, the accolades, and the judgement of history. I was still a teenager, but I knew right from wrong.
And I know Jeff #Bezos isn’t fit to scrub their toilets.
Which is a more honorable job than anything he has done, or ever will do.

Margaret Sullivan says she asked friends and relatives in various locations what kind of reporing their local media did about the massive worldwide protests Saturday against Trump:
"Quick answer: Not close to what it deserved."
Then she did her own research, and found:
"In the Wall Street Journal, the story’s placement was the 20th most important."

I used to subscribe to
--The New York Times (gutless, blinded by arrogance)
--and The Washington Post and The LA Times (our billionaire owners really believe, nudge nudge wink wink in a free press)
Now I support The Guardian every month. Margaret Sullivan reminds us of this central failing of the sources we once trusted.
