RE: https://journa.host/@samlitzinger/116177147514646177 I've had it with the #NewYorkTimes and their never-ending "both sides-ism." The paper obviously has thrown the mission of #journalism under the bus in its desire to pander to conservatives. It is not much better, IMHO, than the Bezos #WashingtonPost. #journalists #media #EpicFail #usa "The fundamental mission of journalism is to provide citizens with accurate, vetted, and timely information, enabling them to make informed decisions about their lives, communities, and governments. It acts as a watchdog to hold power accountable, gives voice to the voiceless, and fosters democracy. " Society of Professional Journalists https://www.spj.org/spj-code-of-ethics/

Last week's cuts at The Washington Post were even worse than initially reported. An accounting by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, the union that represents Post journalists, says nearly half the paper's newsroom was eliminated. Here's more from Washingtonian. https://flip.it/c9PXlk #Journalism #Media #News #WashingtonPost

Just read this sobering retrospective from @NiemanLab on Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. It tracks the arc from 2013—when Bezos was the "badass" billionaire savior of journalism—to February 2026, where he has largely gone silent during a "bloodbath" of layoffs (30% of the newsroom) and a pivot toward "free market" editorializing. The piece highlights: The 300+ jobs cut yesterday (Feb 4), including bureaus and the Amazon reporter. The shift from "curious steward" to distant owner. How the 2024 non-endorsement was just the start of a broader "preemptive obedience" to power. It’s a case study in how quickly a "pillar of democracy" can be hollowed out when its ownership priorities shift.

"When the Washington Post reporter's home was searched, her computer, her phone were seized, and The owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, said nothing. He still has said nothing. This is the reaction you get from legacy media when their reporters are abused." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #normalization #JeffBezos #WashingtonPost /10

Media expert @Edeggans@flipboard.com takes a look at what's going on with CBS News and The Washington Post. "History has shown that journalism has often needed wealthy, civic-minded patrons willing to support the efforts of trained and experienced professionals who can deliver accurate information to the public," he writes in his Switching Codes newsletter. "Time for the wealthiest people in this country — and on this planet — to do more than protect their bottom lines while our journalism infrastructure burns." https://flip.it/ZOygZx #Media #Journalism #WashingtonPost #CBSNews
