Now that you are grieving about #JeffBezos & the #WashingtonPost:
How about taking the opportunity to start a #reader-owned #newspaper #cooperative or an #audience-owned #media cooperative!?
Plenty of examples exist; several of them in #Germany alone.
I'd very much be interested to partake.

By the end of the meeting…, it appeared to Shipley & Lewis that #Bezos had reservations about The #WashingtonPost endorsing either candidate….But they thought he was open to persuasion.
Bezos’ ultimate decision, to end #WaPo’s decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates, exploded into public view on Friday, drawing criticism from #reporters, #editors & #readers, along w/an unusual rebuke from the legendary Post journalists #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein.
Legendary journalists #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein slammed The #WashingtonPost Friday night in a joint statement over the newspaper’s decision not to endorse a White House candidate in 2024.
#WoodwardAndBernstein, who broke the #Watergate scandal while reporting for #WaPo issued a statement to CNN’s Brian Stelter Friday.

“Under Jeff #Bezos's ownership, the #WashingtonPost's news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger & damage a second #Trump presidency could cause to the future of American #democracy & that makes this decision even more surprising & disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."

from #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein:
“We respect the traditional independence of the #editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential #election ignores the #WashingtonPost's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald #Trump poses to #democracy.

En bit tejp fällde världens mäktigaste man. Den lilla plastbiten växte nämligen till Watergateskandalen. Nu har det gått 50 år sedan president Nixon tvingades avgå. 50 år har gått sedan Richard Nixon avgick som USA:s president.#richardnixon #bobwoodward #carlbernstein #watergateskandalen #fbi #cia #inbrott #washingtondc

Hey #CarlBernstein, you know what isn't passing? You know what's endemic?
Donald Trump is a convicted felon who paid off the porn star he date-raped days after his wife gave birth to his kid. He is a racist. He babbles about sharks, boat batteries and electric planes that can't fly when the sun shines. He raped another woman in a department store. He can't run a business in his home state after being found guilty of massive business fraud. He wants to fuck his daughter. He's an Adderall addict.
Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford – Der Moment der Wahrheit (2015)
Etwas, das dem amerikanischen Kino einfach eigen ist, ist seine Fähigkeit den Journalismus zu feiern. Robert Redford hat bereits 1976 einen Prototypen des Genres dargestellt: Den investigativen Journalisten der quasi im Alleingang einen amtierenden Präsidenten zu Fall gebracht hat. Damals war Dustin Hoffman sein Partner. Fast 40 Jahre später…
