The Washington Post Will Pause Its Advertising on X::undefined
Way to take a stand almost kind of.
They are temporarily against racism. At least until people stop paying attention
I always considered WaPo fairly left leaning so I’m kind of surprised they were advertising at all on X as of late

It’s traditionally conservative but more frequently has been endorseing candidates left of center since the right wing is batshit. They overall supported Obama, but frankly Obama is about as centrist as they come. There was a very long stint in the 00s and 10s where they would publish more conservative, hawkish pieces over any news to the contrary.
Would that change, though, if the billionaires themselves intervene? Elon can phone his buddy (?) Bezos to reverse the decision.
I doubt they’re pals. Their relationship seems to be very adversarial. Everyone hates musk and he sees them as a threat. Bezos is a neoliberal. Musk is a fascist. There is a difference, at least as far as optics are concerned.
Time for Elon Musk to join the IDF.
That’ll send a message. Better watch out Elon or Jeff will pull the plug

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m closing the bureau… for an hour.
