‘The Post’s unlawful action against Ms. Attiah must, moreover, be viewed in the context of the intimidation campaign President Trump and his Administration have waged to silence those who criticize him ….’
Grateful for @karenattiah’s decision to take her ex-employer to court.

Le message précédent évoque le renvoi de Karen Attiah par le Washington Post. En mars dernier j'avais déjà parlé du retournement de veste (côté pro-Trump) effectué par Jeff Bezos, le propriétaire du journal, que les derniers événements viennent confirmer.
L'éditorialiste, responsable de la rubrique Opinions internationales (Global Opinions) du Post, a été l'éditrice de Jamal Khashoggi, assassiné par un commando saoudien en 2018. Le WaPo faisait alors figure de journal engagé permettant à des dissidents d'exprimer leur point de vue.
Aujourd'hui on imagine mal le patron milliardaire laissant passer des éditos critiques envers Trump ou l'un de ses alliés sur la scène internationale.

But...well...that's good, but...we need to be more informed on this that...
#KarenAttiah and all the other #blackjournalists are STILL fired and #Kimmel will NOT be on 30 #ABC stations owned by #Sinclair Corp.
We’ve already seen this government force the suppression of voices it doesn’t like.
Now Red Don and his minions are imposing prior restraint on the #press.
We’re about 2 minutes away from a reich-wing crackdown on all opposing voices, the disappearing of resistance figures, and the forcible re-education of dissenters.
All with the collaboration of those in the #law and in #media who may once have been able to put a halt to this #fascist blitzkrieg.
Now it’s up to the rest of us to #rise: #Protest. #Vote. #Resist.

“But we're in a situation now where criticizing the president or criticizing whoever they've appointed as the King will destroy your career, will threaten your airwave license. Like, “We will sue you into oblivion. We will destroy you.” I mean, **this is not cancel culture. This is annihilation culture**.“

Washington Post columnist says she was fired over her ‘unacceptable’ Charlie Kirk social media posts
‘The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being ‘unacceptable’, ‘gross misconduct’ and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false,’ Karen Attiah wrote Monday
