Two weddings WTF over?

Be careful Buck...Wapo is losing credibility. Surveys show fewer Americans now view it as “very” or “somewhat” credible, and it trails competitors like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times in trust metrics. It's true, I have done the math.   

Where did they go on their honeymoon?

THe most important kind:

Last month, Bezos overhauled the paper’s Opinion section, leading to at least 75,000 readers ending their subscriptions and the resignation of Opinions editor David Shipley, NPR reported. This followed a reported loss of 250,000 subscribers — and the resignation of three editorial board members — after Bezos blocked an op-ed that endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris for president in October.

I could hardly believe it when I saw The Washington Post’s new average daily paid circulation figure that made the rounds in recent days—a number so low that I first thought it must surely be missing a digit.97,000.

 That figure comes via the Alliance for Audited Media, and it reveals that The Washington Post’s average paid daily circulation has dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years. To put that in perspective: 97,000 is the sort of figure you’d expect to see from a mid-size regional paper like The Minnesota Star Tribune or The Seattle Times. Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name.

More than 75,000 digital subscribers to The Washington Post have cancelled since its owner, billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced on Wednesday that he would radically overhaul the paper's opinion pages to reflect libertarian priorities and to exclude opposing points of view.
