I stayed until I no longer could—until the newspaper’s owner, Jeff Bezos, issued an edict that the Post’s opinion offerings would henceforth concentrate on the twin pillars of “personal liberties and free markets,” and, even more worrisome, that “viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” I stayed until the Post’s publisher, Will Lewis, killed a column I filed last week expressing my disagreement with this new direction.Funny how that works. The boss tell her to do something, and she complains that the boss does not publish her disagreement.
Her main gripe is that the newspaper shifted from being 100% anti-Trump to being 99% anti-Trump. And away from her Ctrl-Left authoritarian opinions.

The Washington Post is dying, and the man who owns it also wants to cozy up to the federal government feeding trough for contract money. Bezos is trying to turn the sinking subscriptions around, and to do that, the paper is going to have to start coming back to reporting on reality.
Being that the democrat party is presently unable to define 'woman' without a biology degree and follow up dissertation... I'm thinking it's probably a lost cause.
