Crazy people populate American mass media? — consider the Washington Post

27 October 2024

Introductory premise

Lunacy characterizes people, who hold opinions that have no relationship reality, facts and rational evidentiary analysis.

Consider the following sample of the Washington Post's staff

There, we behold a tempest in a teapot infested with non-stop lies and towering self-importance:

The publisher of The Washington Post announced Friday that the paper wouldn't make an endorsement in the U.S. presidential race, with its newsroom reporting that the decision was made by billionaire owner Jeff Bezos, who intervened to stop a drafted endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.

The Washington Post Guild, a union, condemned Bezos' decision in a statement on social media, arguing that it was an abdication of responsibility and suggesting that "management interfered with our members in editorial."

Karen Attiah, a Post columnist, called the decision an "an absolute stab in the back," writing on social media.

"What an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line to call out threats to human rights and democracy," she wrote.

Martin "Marty" Baron, a former executive editor at the Post who was lauded for his leadership of the paper from 2012 to 2021, also denounced the decision not to endorse a presidential candidate.

"This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. Donald Trump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner Jeff Bezos (and others)," he wrote on social media.

"Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."

The reasons for Bezos' reported intervention to stop a planned Harris endorsement are not clear, but he has told the paper's leaders that he would like them to seek out more conservative readers and add more conservative opinion columnists, according to The New York Times.

Some observers have suggested that Bezos, the founder of Amazon, and Soon-Shiong, a biotech mogul, are afraid to antagonize Trump for fear he could retaliate against their businesses when in office.

In other words

The Grand American Oligarchy is quarreling among itself.

This occurring, while the Post's self-assertedly heroic staff — adamant warmongers virtually all — are whining that their preferred Cackle Salad Harris presidential candidate might not get her share of American Totalitarianism's pie.

Such penetrating insight on their part.

'Psychosis' does not even begin to capture its scale.

Associated hubris?

Consider Karen Attiah's above-quoted statement:

"What an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line to call out threats to human rights and democracy."

Attiah's bravery — when compared to people who are actively resisting the American Zionist Empire's globally scaled murder and oppression — figuratively extends to having waded through fart-fog in a restroom.

For her to be equating Trump to totalitarian menace, writ large — and Kamala Harris not so — demonstrates a staggering inability to recognize the facts of the Biden Regime's:

continual repression of free speech

its anti-constitutional weaponization of American government institutions

and

its uninterrupted, democracy-weakening warmongering and genocide.

In sum

For Common Dreams' sample of the Post's staff:

The alleged Hitler wannabe in the future's fog outweighs the dead-brain, slaughter-instigating, rights-stomping and historically most US-damaging one in our present.

How does such a gross distortion of facts and history take place, outside psychoses' nuthouse?

The moral? — These are the people, who daily propagandize the United States

Quintessentially conceited.

Impenetrably uninsightful.

And always holier-than-thou.

Deep State stooges.

One can see why roughly half the American public wants Donald Trump to wield the castration knife — grossly flawed character though he arguably is.
