Profiles in Cowardice; WaPo Ed.

The editorial staff drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris and the publisher overruled them. The publisher, let's not forget, is an ethically-challenged crony of Rupert Murdoch.

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" has been the WaPo's slogan for the past several years.

How about "Democracy is Dying Because We are Craven Cowards" for a new slogan for them? Or "Fuck Democracy, Lord Bezos Wants His Tax Break"? The TOFF was correct when he bestowed the nickname "Jeff Bozo".

Meanwhile, people are leaving the LA Times for similar cowardice.

  1. A little late here. But in Saturdays Trump rally in Michigan Trump and his cronies are now pushing to vote early or by absentee after lambasting those and even trying to block that kind of voting in Michigan for years.
    While he was at it he also went after the press. Just like he has been doing for years. It's back to the old "Fake News" again. Democracy is dying in the darkness and that slogan writer is helping.

  2. They act like their first amendment mandate doesn't come with any responsibility.
