Also, not for nothing … 

 

I'd love to know whether there are any investment managers out of there getting out of their Nasdaq index holdings adding to this or they are all fine with the IPO shenanigans.

What is the Washington Post trying to accomplish by reporting on this? I thought Bezos was in the bag. Or do they see an opening to possibly replace Trump with a fascist who's actually competent on details?

The changeover at WaPo has largely been on the opinion side, which definitely looks more like the WSJ opinion page these days. My understanding is that opinion and news desks are separate and independent. The complete gutting of some departments on the news side also leads to less overall getting reported.

I have a question about this characterization: when they say “protesters clash with ICE”, they make it sound like protesters initiated the confrontation. Did they? Did the protesters start it? Or did ICE attack them first? Because if it’s the latter, it’s not exactly protesters clashing, is it?

I don’t know who “teesferalmind” is, and they almost certainly are not a journalist, but proper phrasing does matter when it comes to getting across a point of view. Unless teesferalmind’s point of view is pro-ICE, which in such a case makes the phrasing understandable.

That’s fine and it makes sense, but I would think if Bezos wants to put the Post totally in the bag for his president, he would direct the news editor to keep a tighter grip on what they report on so as not to upset friends in the regime. Because it’s not “fake opinion” the trump people rail against.

it has seemed to me that the shift from the editorial board op-eds is more pro-business than pro-Trump, but overall it's the exodus of the better liberal contributing editors that makes it less anti-trump.

So true though.

Stupid comment. But I expect nazi trolls like you

D-Day was a military operation against a dictatorship. Migrants arriving in small boats are not an army, don’t have a chain of command, and aren’t trying to occupy European capitals. You can support stronger border enforcement if you wish, but calling migration an “invasion” doesn’t make it one.

I think immigrants are frickin awesome 

Unless you can trace your lineage back to indigenous people, we are all immigrants.   

Comparing what were basically boys in an organized invasion to defeat Nazi Germany. Most people crossing the Mediterranean are not armies nor are they arriving with tanks and artillery with plans to invade Europe. (or the US for that matter).

Comparing those who gave their lives for their country to "illegal immigrants" demeans the memory of those who fought for freedom.

That’s a level of intelligence that some people are incapable of understanding.
