Morale is plummeting in the viper’s nest that passes for the Washington Post newsroom.
Not because readers are deserting the paper in droves. Not because the newspaper lost $77 million last year. The oh-so-ethical journalists of the WaPo couldn’t care less about such trivialities. They’re too busy finding ways to cover up Joe Biden’s corruption or swallowing new Deep State lies about Donald Trump’s “existential threat to democracy.”
They’re just upset that the paper’s owner, Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, wants to stem the bleeding and has installed new management to carry out his wishes.
The new CEO is an energetic Brit named Will Lewis, with impressive runs on the journalistic leadership board on both sides of the Atlantic. He was previously publisher at The Wall Street Journal, on the board of The Associated Press, editor of London’s Telegraph and an investigative reporter for the Financial Times. Not good enough for WaPo’s paragons of elite journalism.
“We are losing large amounts of money,” Lewis told the newsroom earlier this month.
