@wdlindsy Because despite the asshole #corporatemedia slime like #Fox #CNN #NYT #Wapo #ABC #CBS and the rest of the sane-washing cunts forcing the felon's LIES on all of us, turns out everyone other than other #NaziCunts, #hillbillies and #bigots, EVERYONE hates the piece of shit masquerading as human and known as #DonaldTrump.

@knittingknots2 I assume the #WaPo & #NYT will relentlessly hammer these errors into our skulls for weeks so we conclude he is old & senile, right? Because I have seen that done before with far far less cause.

I probably haven't spent as much time as I should have, talking about the Washington Post and billionaire maggot owner Jeff Bezos' low-key capitulation or perhaps more accurately long-awaited embrace of the fascist American right; at least in part because a lot of the people at WaPo are still doing something resembling journalism and fact-based reporting has a well-known bias against the Emperor of Lies and the larger Trump regime. Bezos himself however, has repeatedly signaled to the Kelpto Kaiser that he, his empire, and his newspaper are open for business with the regime; with the two most prominent examples being Amazon's $1M donation to Trump's inauguration, and Jeff's reorganization of the WaPo editorial department to promote pro-capitalist libertarian propaganda in the service of a billionaire oligarch; namely himself.

So how is this re-imagining of the country's "liberal" paper of record going? Well if this short and to the point post by the fedi's own @davidgerard is any indication, the answer is "not great, Bob!"

Washington Post goes AI to clean up amateur right-wing op-eds

"The first part of the AI-fueled platform plan is called Ripple. The Post wants to fill out the opinion section with “nonprofessional writers.” How will they quality check these? They’ll run them past an AI!

Why does the Post want to do this? Because they can’t find enough good writers to create the owner’s desired libertarian propaganda.

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. In February this year, Bezos mandated that the Post’s opinion pages would support “personal liberties and free markets” and not print pieces that did not support these. Sounds nice, but those are specific jargon terms that rich libertarians use to mean “liberty for my money” and not any other sort of freedom or liberty for any other person."

Obviously, Dave's focus is the implementation of bunk "AI" programs to filter through trashfire winger substack author submissions, but our interest here is mostly the divide this exposes between the Bezos-loyal editorial board, and the actual news departments at the Washington Post. Please keep in mind that this is the same editorial board that just endorsed RFK Jr's transphobic, pro-conversation therapy "study" of trans care in America; the Post's upper management is desperate to realign the paper much further to the right to align with the billionaire boss's wishes, even if they're still failing in that endeavor for the most part. How desperate? Well I'm pretty sure begging substack libertarians to write editorial pieces in the paper of record for the most politically-connected city in America, under the guise of democratizing the opinions section, is a depth not even Bezos thought he'd ever have to sink to.

In the bigger picture the real lesson we might be learning here is that the pro-fascist, anti-humanist billionaire agenda being forced on Pig Empire society by the amoral oligarch maggots who own everything around us, including our governments, is simply not popular; and even force feeding it to us through every major organ of our discourse, isn't changing that reality anytime soon.

@NMBA @randahl The #WaPo is trash.
