Will Lewis accomplished his political mission of castrating one of the most venerable American newsrooms and turning it into a British tabloid. Of course he doesn't care about the lives he ruined. It's the cost of doing business

@allisonhantschel.com ’s 2024 column on the Washington Post hiring of Will Lewis. Bringing it back up in light of his resignation.

"Washington Post readers have rightly concluded that Bezos is no longer committed to the democratic ideals that he once professed to revere and that the newspaper has committed to defend....If ever the Post needed a new owner, it is now." www.thebulwark.com/p/jeff-bezos...

Washington Post really out here saying:

Fun, and correct, to dump on Will Lewis. But if you're not doing the same for Jeff Bezos - the man who owns the business, hired Lewis and made the business worse through his own decisions... www.businessinsider.com/will-lewis-j...

I have thought since the big layoff thing that he was on his own way out, because he wasn't the one to talk to the soon-to-be ex-employees or the media. In fact, he was partying on the other side of the country. It seemed to me he knew he was doomed. There *is* this, but it seems like BS to me:

Except he wrote, “…difficult decisions have been *taken*…” Lewis shows he is neither an editor nor a writer.

With alt text:

Kara Swisher at www.threads.com says Will Lewis was fired. Below that is his letter to the Post staff.

In like 6 weeks Will Lewis will get a new job that pays him 4.5 million dollars a year.

After everything, Will Lewis still thinks Post journalists are stupid. Did he really say he tbought “nonpartisan news” would be high-quality work?

BREAKING: Will Lewis to continue to not do any work, announces he will no longer receive a paycheck for it

theres this idea that trump is a master manipulator, carefully deploying news stories so one gets covered and another is not. this is nonsensical. its based on the idea that we can only focus on one thing at a time.

Exactly this

“Sorry y’all got cut but I’m still good over here. Be blessed” lol

Area Serial Racist Posts Racist Meme But We’re Still Gonna Pretend Like Maybe He Didn’t Know It Was Racist - the New York Times

The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The Department of Homeland Security is using administrative subpoenas, a secretive tool issued without a judge's signature, to go after people lawfully reporting ICE activity or criticizing DHS policies. This is a direct attack on our First Amendment rights and we're fighting back.

It really kills MAGA that they have no culture, just resentment at everyone else's. Bad Bunny is the #1 artist in the world right now and won album of the year. Instead of putting poquito de sazón en su vida, they're gonna listen to the guy who sings about liking underage women.

How many reactionary centrists painted blatant racism as "economic anxiety." The media whitewashed all of this for a decade. The greatest sin in their eyes was calling MAGA racist. It wasn't about economic anxiety just as much as targeting trans people isn't about concerns for women's rights.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

The backlash against MeToo was always rich white men who wanted to avoid accountability and ensure their place in the social hierarchy. www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

I want a personal apology from every reactionary centrist who claimed Trump supporters were just motivated by “economic anxiety”

Epstein is like the evil Forrest Gump, somehow present and responsible for every terrible thing of the last twenty years.

I don't know why it took a video posted by Trump for the media to realize he's racist when DHS is engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign in Minneapolis.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer? Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it. Reporter: Are you going to apologize? Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was a take off The Lion King.

Why boycott Kid Rock for political reasons when you can do it for musical ones?

COMING THIS SUNDAY: Entertainment for people who know from experience if skunk tastes like chicken.

Movies, TV, and comic books lied to us by making us believe that megalomaniacal billionaires bent on world domination would be at least a little bit cool.

No one has ever sat in a parked car with the radio on waiting for a Kid Rock song to finish.

In a recent interview, Donald Trump promised to accept the results of the midterm elections if he is allowed to decide what they are.

Bullet dodged, so to speak.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Trump posts racist video about the Obamas. Karoline Leavitt dismisses criticism as "fake outrage." Tim Scott calls it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." White House deletes video. @ericalgj.bsky.social @bellakwai.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Trump ran for president the first time on a racist lie.
