The troubles at the liberal Washington Post are nothing new. The paper has lost millions over the last year and has even considered replacing journalists with AI bots.
Now things are getting even worse. Sally Buzbee, the executive editor is stepping down and the paper’s CEO recently held a meeting with the staff to inform them that people are not reading the content they are producing.
It is an election year and there is no shortage of news, but the Washington Post is flailing. What does that tell you?
FOX News reported: WaPo boss sounds alarm over dwindling audience in heated staff meeting: ‘People are not reading your stuff’

“…are not reading your stuff…!”
But my sister does. She lives and breathes by the Post! It’s impossible to have a conversation with her.

The article implies that the staffers are clueless wokesters. I suspect that most of the staff are not. They are NOT journalists. They are NOT Americans. They are propagandists pushing a corrupt Ultra Liberal agenda. They KNOW that they are out of step with America and are trying to CONVERT America to their twisted views. They are using the Waa Poo as shelter from the coming storm and spitting into the wind.
The problem they face is that America, and frankly, ALL countries require sources of income to support their activities. The Waa Poo is facing economic collapse because no one is buying the garbage they are selling. And, despite their Ultra Liberalism, the Waa Poo staffers are spoiled by the top end salaries they get. The roof has been blown off their little shelter, like it has off of CNN (and other Liberal propaganda media) and the rain is pouring down on their heads. They are whining because they fear for their sheltered, cushy existence; their personal survival.
The problem is they are not getting the good feelz from their audience any more. Their audience is feeling threatened by the outcomes of their agenda and are also in survival mode; a survival that can best be accomplished without a Waa Poo and its ilk.
And, to emphasize, it is Trump that has delivered karma to them. Since he accurately branded the media "Enemies of the People", they have hated and feared him because they dreaded this outcome. They are being confronted with reality and they despise it, and Trump.
Woke the media may be but their reaction is like the rats they are, fleeing the sunshine that has exposed them. They fear extermination. People exterminate rats because they spread filth and disease, exactly as the media has been doing. The media fears the sounds of traps snapping closed.

It's the kind of news that you're peddling, stupids. That's why nobody's "reading your stuff." Then there are these reasons:
1. “Democracy Dies in Darkness” (what democracy?)
2. Staffers reportedly tried to make the issue all about race (white men v.) and gender (entitled white women)
3. Buzbee was uncomfortable with an offer to run a different division of the paper (she should be elevated, doggonit; she is woman)
4. She also reportedly had urged Lewis to hold off on implementing such changes until after the election, which Lewis refused. (In other words, she wants to run things her way. Men are stupid to her.)

Washington Post: ''Yes, you're living paycheck to paycheck, yes, you're unsafe on the streets or driving your car, yes, the border is wide open and criminals are entering the country by the millions, yes, the president of the country is suffering from dementia...BUT, imagine how bad things would be under the convicted felon and future dictator, Donald Trump!''

When journalism stopped being objective, people stopped reading it. "News" articles routinely referred to "baseless" claims of election fraud and called the riot on the Capitol grounds an "insurrection." I don't read "news" articles by the NY Times, the Washington Post or the AP because I know they will be opinion pieces, not the news.

"considered replacing journalists with AI bots"
I thought they had gotten rid of all their journalists long ago, and replaced them all with WOKE AI bots. You mean there are still journalists that remain there? Who knew?

Replacing the liberal propagandists at the Post with new liberals isn’t going to fix it.

I don’t see anything changing at the Compost. If you think back to 2016, you might remember that the NY Slimes, gobsmacked by Trump’s victory, announced that it would henceforth be a more balanced newspaper. We all see how that worked out. They are incapable of letting go of their radical leftism. It’s their entire identity. Without it, they are nothing.

The employees of the WaPo will never change. They'll run it right into the ground. And that's a good thing.

You're right, poster # 13. The enemedia is incapable of changing their stripes. The dullards are too brainwashed and ensconced in their marxism to see any other path in life other than dictatorial rule by the "annointed".
They truly are useful idiots, and have been so for decades. IMO, it's been downright obvious for at least forty years, especially concerning American politics.

Heated WaPo Staff Meeting:
Boss: "People are not reading your stuff!"
Staff: "But, Boss, clearly that's because our readers are stupid!"
Boss: "Our subscriber demographic is well into college post-graduate degree level.
Staff: "That doesn't mean they know what we know."
Boss: "Clearly."
H.R. Rep: "At the end of today, you will each receive an envelope containing your final paycheck, and a severance check, based on the number of people who read your last article. For the one who received the smallest severance, take heart, you've been voted the "smartest" person in the room."

The ComPost has been an extreme leftist propaganda outlet since the 1960s, possibly before that, but I wasn't paying attention to newspaper political view before that.
I'm surprised that so many people put up with their propaganda so long.

Amazon Bezos has unlimited money. The WP is insurance for Lin. Steve Job’s widow also has unlimited money and thus The Atlantic magazine. These Masters of the Universe hate God, Family and Country.

Still waiting on the Post's explanation of Biden getting a statistically impossible 600,000 votes in Pennsylvania between 1-5 AM.

Democrats are content with 40-character memes posted on social media for their news source. No need to write long stores with verifiable sources and footnotes.

Since the WaPo is the CIA's primary print Propaganda outlet, as long as the narrative they write confirms to what they want, the actual content shouldn't make a lot of difference to the continued existence of the WaPo.

#21, the Compost has never, and I mean EVER, endorsed a Republican for President. Not even in 1984.
