Washington Post

The Washington Post’s resident “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler ran circles around himself this week when he tried to undermine the most comprehensive U.S. study on the drug regimen responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions.

President Donald Trump revealed a conversation he had with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos after the latter instituted sweeping changes to the outlet’s opinion pages.

During an interview with OutKick radio host Clay Travis over the weekend, the president talked about his relationship with Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, calling him “a good guy” and praising him for pushing the outlet to be “more fair” in its coverage...

I walked into the Washington Post building for the first time in the summer of 1981. Past the red linotype machine that marked the entrance to the Post’s Fifteenth Street headquarters for so many years and up to the fifth-floor newsroom, a cavernous space that looked just as it’s depicted in “All the President’s Men.”

The Washington Post is making major changes to its newsroom that are meant to broaden the outlet's coverage and reach a wider audience, according to a staff memo from executive editor Matt Murray obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: The shifts follow months of high-profile staff departures and blowback to recent opinion coverage changes by owner Jeff Bezos.

Doesn’t the Washington Post’s owner know that it’s his role to fund journalism that he disagrees with?

Jeff Bezos has the temerity to believe that he runs the Washington Post.

He can be forgiven this understanding of his role since he does, as a technical matter . . . own the newspaper.

The Washington Post this week backed out of a “Fire Elon Musk” advertising order that was to run as a wrap on some of its Tuesday editions, according to the advocacy group Common Cause. 

The group said it signed a $115,000 agreement with The Post to run the ad that would have covered the front and back page of the Tuesday paper as well as a full-page ad with the same theme inside the paper. It said it planned to purchase the ad in collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund.

After Donald J. Trump entered the White House in 2017, The Washington Post adopted a slogan that underscored the newspaper’s traditional role as a government watchdog: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

This week, as Mr. Trump prepares to re-enter the White House, the newspaper debuted a mission statement that evokes a more expansive view of The Post’s journalism, without death or darkness: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

The Washington Post is in "disarray" after a long-term cartoonist at the paper quit, Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Monday on CNN.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes left the Post following the paper’s rejection of her artwork, which features Amazon founder and Post owner Jeff Bezos groveling to President-elect Trump.
