“...they held a secret meeting with the papers president, Steve Hills without inviting executive editor Marcus Brauchli.”
“I do not like Brauchli. And I haven't liked him since I was a little kid and my mother made me work for him. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to invite any more Brauchli.”

Newspapers are dead.
Long live the internet, free (mostly) from liberal bias!

I made quite a bit of money from the Washington Post at one time. However, I’m glad I cut my financial ties and divested myself of all my WaPo holdings.
I delivered my last morning paper in 1960, at the age of 13, after having earned $20-$25 per week for three years.
Hey, don’t sneer; that’s BIG MONEY for a kid! (especially in 1958-60)
;-)
[I wonder if my leaving their employ had anything to do with their descent into terminal liberalism? Maybe I could have saved them, if only I’d tried harder to teach them the error of their ways..... NAAAAA!]

No, but I’d assume ‘72-’74 when Watergate was brewing and there wasn’t ANY alternative media.

“Socialism kills!”
Seems to apply to newspapers as well as nations.

When Ayers’ crew knocks off 25 mil, there’ll be less. Just don’t read “Atlas Shrugged” on the way to the railcar and think you’re making a difference. Not to you, just in general.

I think it had something to do with systematic slaughter of trees!
It’s been a very long time since I bought a newspaper.
