 @w7voa Ann Telnaes's editorial cartoon superbly captures the business community's -- specifically, the Tech Bros' -- munificent response to the election of Donald Trump. That would be precisely why Jeff Bezos, first caricature on the left, had the British goons he imported to run the WaPo spike it. That adds the WaPo itself to this cartoon, kowtowing lower than the mouse.  @w7voa  @w7voa I'm sure the 'free speech absolutists' like Elon Musk will be suitably enraged by this. Jeff Bezos is a coward or a collaborator. Either way, he should be shunned.  I've been a zealous defender of paying for quality media and a subscriber to the #WashingtonPost for years. But as soon as Bezos killed the #Harris endorsement, I can cancelled my subscription. Musk has proven that nothing users do can influence an unethical owner. Kudos to Ann Telnaes, and others, who abandon #WaPo to defend their principles. Everyone who works there will be tested at some point. Who else will do what's right?  @w7voa  @w7voa  A statue of someone (from shoulders down) in a suit and tie, with tiny hands, stands on a dais marked with laurel wreath reliefs. Near the steps of the dais, three figures present bags labeled “$” towards the statue, with two of them on bended knee. A fourth figure, kneeling lower, offers up a lipstick. Further along, Mickey Mouse prostrates himself before the statue.  |
