I'm sure whatever losses the Washington Post has suffered will be gained back with all the money that "Melania" is making.

Bezos is firing about 33% of the Washington Post staff. Almost every person laid off is a registered Democrat.

Liberals ruin something else. As usual.

I seriously doubt there are few, if any, conservatives at the Washington Post.

The problem has been its audience.

Having focused so much on investigative journalism, politics and trying to be the big boy against the New York Times, Politico and a variety of other sources that focus on the same thing, it's tough to survive.

Major metro newspapers such as the Houston Chronicle, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, Tampa Bay Times and Dallas Morning New are thriving because their cities and regions are the audiences. 

They can produce the sports, food, entertainment and hyperlocal news content that consumers can't get anywhere else. The newspapers that jettisoned news staff to focus on that bottom line wound up shooting off their feet one toe at a time because they weren't producing essential content that readers wanted. That leveled the content field for local TV news outlets, particularly in mid-sized markets, with websites being the great equalizer.

It's no surprise that the Washington Post is having to pivot away from playing the big boy and put more focus on its own city and region instead of national and international coverage.

Fox does well because it feeds its conservative viewers a steady stream of what they want to see, like Democrat bashing, with the occasional reporting of news that makes them butt hurt and flee farther right to an outlet more to their liking. Fox knows its audience

I flip over to Fox news or see it on the screen at the gym, and it's always the same stuff that posters here wind up parroting.

Fox doesn't have to complete the same way the left-leaning MS NOW and CNN have to compete with each other. You add those two together, and it's a bit closer to the viewership that Fox gets.

But here's an interesting statistic that a quick Google search produced:

Cable News Ratings (January 2026 - Primetime)

• Fox News: Averaged 2.05 million viewers (down 26% from Jan 2025).
• MS NOW (formerly MSNBC): Averaged 887,000 viewers (up 20% from Jan 2025).
• CNN: Averaged 660,000 viewers (up 26% from Jan 2025). 

 

Obviously this reflects Trump's rapidly diminishing popularity and moderates moving farther to the left.

msdnc is left leaning according to tranny retard. No it’s extreme left progressive and nothing less

Well.  This isn't unexpected.  Print media is dying...fast.  This one was probably accelerated when they refused to endorse Kamala and the liberals left in droves.  What the liberal media doesn't get is they made this bed.  Catering to them exclusively.  And when they do anything non-liberal, they lose that support. The WaPo should have understood their customer base better.

Washington Post's news and opinion sections were quite separate in the past. But, like the "conservative" Wall St Journal, they could be counted on for solid news.

I think with the internet, they (and other big news sites) put all the opinion stuff on the front of the website instead of making people look for it in the paper. Front and center, and for many more important than the actual news.

WaPo always had conservative and liberal opinion writers. But definitely when they fired some of the liberal ones and flipped the editorial board from liberal to conservative, they were certain to lose a lot of readers.

IMO, Bezos thought that by flipping, he might keep a lot of average folks, and also get new conservative readers. Nope. Right-wing radio and other media over the years has had a massive hate boner for WaPo, so even if he turned it into something to the right of Fox News, he'd never get enough conservatives to sign up, as they've got decades of anti-WaPo sentiment pumped into their ears and eyes.

Jeff might have been good at running a shipping business, but he's not great at running a news organization.

Very clearly remember when they decided to shelve the Kamala endorsement.   Heard it was Bezos that made that call but doesn't matter.  That was the right call because Kamala was awful.  However, the people(and lets be honest, they are mostly liberal) that subscribed to it dropped their subscriptions in protest.  And now they are upset cause the paper is losing millions and need to cut costs.   It's amazing logic.

This is the opening couple of paragraphs of an article from the Washington Post that came out YESTERDAY, not 10 years ago:

 

Quote

 

SAN FRANCISCO — The most relevant figure to Super Bowl LX is absent from it. The game will be played in his former home stadium, in the place where his protest made him a national lightning rod and a global symbol. The social issues swirling around America’s largest sporting spectacle carry distinct echoes of what prompted his actions and what led to his exile. And yet he remains outside the conversation and invisible within the confines of the NFL.

Colin Kaepernick might as well be a ghost.

 

And people wonder why that entity is failing.  And Squissy just came.
