Summary
The Washington Post editorial board announced support for nearly all of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees, except four: Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Russell Vought.
The board justified its decisions by prioritizing minimal disqualifying factors over strong qualifications.
Some nominees, including Pam Bondi and Chris Wright, were approved despite controversies, such as ties to Trump’s 2020 election denial and climate change skepticism.
Critics argue the endorsements reflect loyalty over merit, raising concerns about the nominees’ qualifications and the paper’s objectivity under Jeff Bezos’s ownership.
I guess it’s what those braindead readers want.
Someone who agrees with Trump’s election interference, of which a news story breaks that said he would have been convicted for his meddling, is seen as someone with strong qualifications for Attorney General?! Yeah fuck you.
Not really they keep taking huge hits on their subscriber numbers. 10% dropped after the non-endorsement crap. I’m interested in finding numbers for Ann Telnaes’ departure and the bleeding of the newsroom. But there’s a reason they show ads on their page now.
