The Washington Post: Democracy Dies With Us

Some do. But the official stance of the Washington Post isn’t represented by those articles. It’s represented by, yes, the editorials.

For example, Bezos rejected an editorial cartoon that failed to adulate either Trump or himself; the cartoonist left rather than give in to the implicit requirement to avoid criticizing Trump.

Your idea that some articles that do criticize Trump outweigh the clear editorial direction of the paper under Bezos, is something you have every right to believe. But you can’t expect other people to share your view.

No, all the news articles that mention Trump criticize him and most of the editorials, opinion pieces, and letters oppose Trump.

The Post was given advance notice of the kidnapping.

They said nothing.

Fascist appeasers to the last one.

I never did have a subscription but I let my Prime expire a year ago last November and have not spent a dime with Amazon since then, particularly tough as I have a Kindle. This reinforces that decision.

You probably know all this, but newer Kindles can take epub formats, and of course you can still take out library books onto your Kindle.

I switched to a Kobo. It still supports side loading. I keep my e-library in Calibre. My next e-reader will probably be an e-ink generic tablet.

Once upon a time, the Kindle was really the best e-reader. It’s not, any more.

I still read the Post. I’ve never really read the editorial page of any newspaper. The Post continues to have excellent science reporting, and surprisingly okay political reporting. It doesn’t last it’s political spent bleed into the news articles as much as the NYT does.

Of course. A good many of the books in my Calibre library were snagged from Gutenberg and I get the Baen free books, as well as buying a couple every year.

Amazon was easier for the current stuff plus I was getting three or four of Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct series every year – about the pace he was writing them – and Amazon had them all easily ordered, sometimes even on sale.
