Yeah, it's super awesome that one of the largest news outlets in the world is now going to just be a megaphone for its billionaire owner.

Right wingers are free speech advocates so long as they agree with the speech (see Elon's constant censoring on twitter).

Yes, in the winger reality, Washington Post will no longer be considered part of "the media."

I imagine the front page will maintain its status as the Langley Bugle.  We’ll have to see how Americanized the opinion page gets.

This was a huge win that didn’t draw many remarks here:

”The choice of Caine shows the president’s preference for irregular warfare and special operations: Caine was among a group of military leaders who met with the president in December 2018 at the Al Asad airbase in Iraq. Trump was there to deliver a Christmas message and hear from commanders on the ground, and there Caine told Trump they could defeat ISIS quickly with a surge of resources and a lifting of restrictions on engagement. ”

Why should Bezos bankroll a losing rag?   Sure he can handle losing millions but why shouldn't he expect to receive money for his investment?     Any of you nay sayers willing to bankroll the WAPO with your own money, or is it you don't mind bankrolling it with someone else's money and complain that he wants to make money on a paper that people will actually read?

This is another big win.  Cartel leaders moved out of their plush accommodations from which they still retain control of their networks   While the CIA is operating surveillance flights over their compounds in preparation of shutting them down.  All due to being designated terrorist organizations and to avoid tariffs.
