That’s the point. It’s why the election is being attacked exactly the way it is. You can’t un-burn a ballot, you can’t un-certify an election. No matter how egregious and illegal the action, if it gets them across the finish line, it sticks.
Instead of watching whatever the hell this ends up being, just read this ancient and hilarious screenshot Let’s Play. I guarantee it’s more entertaining, especially if you remember early 2000’s internet, before it turned into <gestures at everything>.
And then they stopped lying, about one specific thing, for about a minute, before resuming the full throttle bullshit bus.
Once we look into it, we’ll collect evidence, make a case, charge them, it’ll attempt go to trial, they’ll settle, and they’ll pay $20,000 in fines in 2034 if we still have a functioning justice system at that time.
Bias is unavoidable.

It’s not just about negative articles though - it’s also what isn’t published. Just because they’re not publishing two puff pieces for every critical one doesn’t mean they’re not showing bias.
I’m not trying to start a fight about it though. Bezos is a piece of shit regardless of WaPo, and now he definitely is one because of it too.
I guess there’s been some loosening, but a few years back I remember it feeling pretty skewed. I can’t read that first article and that second one is from just a couple months ago.
You’re right that it’s not a blanket ban on criticism, but even if there’s not a strict interference, there’s an implicit bias against biting the hand that feeds you unless there’s a very structured support system to prevent it.
How many WaPo articles can you find that are critical of Amazon, Bezos, or rampant capitalism in general?
I’ll take “fucking duh” for $100, Alex.
Ooh, ooh, is it “being a giant piece of shit bigot”?
That’s a mean thing to say about his plastic surgeon.

Don’t forget renowned piss baby Elon Musk.
He provokes you, you respond, people respond to you, conversation is spurred in exactly the way UniversalMonk wants. You’re literally making his information warfare successful.
Yes. This guy posts every 17 minutes on average, 24/7, to sway the election for Trump. Don’t feed him.
Stop responding. Downvote. Move on.
I’m basically Pavlov-conditioned to upvote the word “Miez” now. They could just post a text post with only the words “Miez cat good” and I’d upvote it instantly.
I long for the halcyon days of old, back when we had candidates that were perfect in every way. 🙄
