  Wow. Who knew that allowing wealthy individuals to purchase the means of disseminating information would result in that information favouring the views of that wealthy owner. I’m sure unlimited political donations doesn’t result in anything similar, either.

    I often wonder if a wealthy individual (or several) encouraged the mob to infiltrate unions in the last century in order to destabilize them.

      That’s always been a thing since the time of the Pinkertons and hasn’t changed.

      Rockstar games was reported to have had a mole within the Glasgow software union they busted up by firing all of the workers. That jackass did it for extra time off apparently.

      They don’t even need to hire infiltrators. All they need is a few lawyers and some politicians in their pockets.

    Well, the Supreme Court said money is speech, so I guess they think so.

  Any old people here remember when reporters were supposed to be courageous and hold those in power to account by asking hard questions?

    I think you might be romanticising things a little bit. Here is Edward Murrow from 1954, over seventy years ago, making his critique that journalism was DOA.

  I still can’t get over how much he cultivates that Lex Luthor vibe, in deed and appearance.

    You know those guys love Lex Luthor behind the scenes. I’m sure they talk about it, probably have a secret LL Society, with passwords, and secret handshakes, and whatnot.

  Billionaire wants to end unions? You don’t say.

  As a local, one of the interesting things is that WaPo has always been anti-union, especially when it came to the unions of their own employees. It’s obviously worse now, but even in their supposed liberal inside-the-Beltway heyday, they were anti-union whenever given the chance. Canceling my subscription almost 15yrs ago remains something I have no regrets about.

  The paper seems to argue unerringly in favor of the boss’s financial interests

  I wonder if one day the world would be forced to recognize that hoarding hundrends of billions is a hurtful and dangerou crime comitted by people with antisocial personality disorders, who should be stopped and treated instead of encouraged.

  Why does he look like someone else? Did the Hollywood Star Whackers take the original bozos out for being rude to Shatner during a profound moment?

    I think he got his droopy eye fixed. He probably also got jaw filler but it’s hard to tell from this angle

      Now he looks like a henchman.

  STARBUCKS was giving him so much excitment in union busting the cafe shops, everytime they tried to unionize.
