Ummmm… okay. He doesn’t even fucking see the problem.
EDIT: I need to post this paragraph. Its so… rich.
You can see my wealth and business interests as a bulwark against intimidation, or you can see them as a web of conflicting interests. Only my own principles can tip the balance from one to the other. I assure you that my views here are, in fact, principled, and I believe my track record as owner of The Post since 2013 backs this up. You are of course free to make your own determination, but I challenge you to find one instance in those 11 years where I have prevailed upon anyone at The Post in favor of my own interests. It hasn’t happened.
I’ve been a Washington Post subscriber for almost a decade. I just cancelled.
Now I need to figure out which independent news organizations that money should go to instead.
Dropsite News consists of former The Intercept journalists and they do really good work.
Also, anything that Mehdi Hasan does.
ProPublica has been doing great work.

I started this discussion here. AP, NPR, The Guardian, Economist are on my shortlist. I’m still looking.
I think Mother Jones is pretty decent.
