Striking Washington Post Journos Beg Public to Ignore the Newspaper and Website
Breitbart ^

Journalists at the left-wing Washington Post walked off the job to begin a 24-hour strike Thursday while issuing a plea to the general public for support.

The striking employees have planned a picket and rally outside the Post’s downtown Washington office to bring attention to their cause.

In the process they have asked the general public to observe a simple request: do not read the newspaper or website for the duration of the industrial action, the Hill reports.

4chan will set up a VPN bot that will access and scroll randomly until the strike ends.

Well, I'll go look at The WhiteWashingHamas POSt website, now.

Anything to disrespect the fake WWHP "journalists".

Strike? I thought they had pending involuntary layoffs... Journos are not the brightest.

The New York Bird Cage Liner just lost 100 million dollars necessitating reorganizing / layoffs. Not to surprising the bunch of Bolshevists they hired are not happy. In their mind Bezos should not worry about the bottom line, “the cause” is all that matters and permanent employment. I LOVE IT!

My favoring one side over the other in an issue between journalists and their employees in the MSM is identical to my outlook on the Ukraine/Russian fighting ...

....

....

... is it too much to hope that both sides go down in flames?

In their mind Bezos (management) should not worry about the bottom line, “the cause” is all that matters and permanent employment.

I don't know if you're being facetious, but having worked at a major metropolitan newspaper - up I-95 from the Compost - I can tell you with certainty that is what many "journalists" believe. These ignoramuses truly believe that mundane things like business expenses have to be subordinated to their "craft" and, as you mentioned, keeping their "lifetime" job.

These losers should embrace the suck and learn to code.
