Well, shit, decisions decisions. I'm one of these 250,000:
In
response, readers voted with their wallets. As of this writing, more
than 250,000 have canceled their subscriptions. While my initial
reaction was to do the same, perhaps we all should pause for a moment
and consider the consequences of a weakened Washington Post.
There’s certainly a desire to hit ‘em where it hurts, but canceling
subscriptions is less than lunch money for a man worth more than $200
billion. Instead, a subscriber exodus will hurt the hardworking
reporters and staff at the paper, which just went through a round of
layoffs and cutbacks.
To defund one of America’s last great journalistic institutions would do a disservice to its readers, and to our country. The Post
reporters and editors are damn good at what they do. They are among
America’s best, especially when it comes to fearless investigative
reporting. We need a healthy, vibrant news business to keep check on the
likes of Donald Trump, who would dearly love fewer reporters digging
into his actions and exposing his lies.

Except the WaPo abdicated its responsibility upon hiring the British tabloid publisher and when their reporting normalized POOTWH. I’m not going back until Bozos sells to someone with balls.

I'm still on the fence and I've got pickets up my butt.
Sheeeeeee-it.
