Jen Rubin Resignation Watch: Day Four
30th October 2024
After cheering the “brave” resignations of LA Times employees, it was expected that faux Republican Jen Rubin would follow suit when the Washington Post also failed to endorse Kamala Harris.
Guess not.
My theory is that precisely because she is so principled, she is merely delaying her resignation to achieve maximum effect. And then it’s Take that Jeff Bezos!
A reported 200,000 readers have cancelled their WaPo subscriptions in protest even though there has not been even a hint of an editorial shift in favor of balanced, more objective coverage or something equally terrifying and fascistic. Does anyone believe that there is any employee, editor, reporter or opinion writer at the WaPo who is openly to the right of Trotsky or Whoopi Goldberg?
Those cancellations could be a loss of maybe $30 million per year on top of the $77 million annual deficit Bezos is currently paying out of pocket to fund these ingrates. And some have even vowed to stop using Amazon.com!
