Thank you Fern—it’s so great seeing your post! I “unsubscribed” to WaPo last night so that I could sleep knowing I was NOT going to continue to support the higher echelons of that once great paper.

Thank you Fern—it’s so great seeing your post! I “unsubscribed” to WaPo last night so that I could sleep knowing I was NOT going to continue to support the higher echelons of that once great paper. It saddens me beyond my feeble words because of the many fine journalists that I will miss (Carol Lenonnig, Jonathan Capehart, Deborah Rubin, Philip Rucker, etc., etc.). Thank goodness for Dr. Snyder and Heather Cox Richardson.
So good to 'see' you Linda. I'm am grateful to you for mentioning several of WAPO's outstanding journalists, and I would add the investigative and natural science work done by the paper. It was with particular sadness about the paper's journalists and journalism in America that I absorbed the decision made by Bezos.
We need a powerful campaign in the US in support of local, statewide and national 'Free-Press'. It is crucial that the people know the facts. There are various ways to get news based on journalistic principles to Americans. This needs to be a top priority. With technology, colleges and universities ... there are ways to afford the truth...where is the will!
This is how we hurt many other people and channel ourselves for this satisfaction of dubious effect. The paper was and is doing good work other than this shameful act by its owner which is having plenty of reverberation. I think you mean Jennifer Rubin.. but so many others.
