In case you hadn’t heard:
Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of the Washington Post, announced on Wednesday that the newspaper will only publish opinion pieces that conform to his political ideology.
What this means is that they won’t publish any opinion but his. I guess that makes it an un-opinion section since it doesn’t reflect all sides. It is a not so subtle attempt to stifle any opinion he or this administration don’t agree with. To deny any opposition or opposing thoughts.
So much for free speech.
In response, David Shipley, the editor of the Washington Post’s opinion page, resigned. At least we know he has some integrity.
This is how democracy dies.
