You, Too, Can Cancel Your WaPo Subscription

This morning I was still shaking with a little bit of rage (even after 4 days) for the Washington Post's failure to endorse Kamala Harris in the most important presidential election ever.  When the nice Philippino woman who takes Bezos's cancellation calls (over 200,000 as of October 28) asked me why, I told her that when one billionaire made a decision that overruled the entire professional journalistic staff of WaPo, it was finally clear that the credibility of paper had reached Absolute Zero.  

Who could ever read anything in the Post, whether news, commentary, or cartoon, without wondering if Bezos's fascist hand had not first initialed it?

    really - just the beginning it's almost like a scientific formula for fascism and the end of Democracy -an educated citizenry is essential for democratic government and putting a steak through the heart of public education, teacher professional autonomy and profits for testing companies, here we are. Education isn't even on the radar - ironic.
