It appears that The Washington Post has maintained its ‘independent’ ‘spirit’ at a critical moment, choosing to forgo the $115,000 advertising fee rather than take a stand against Trump. This is truly an eye-opener. And that ad calling for the ‘fire’ of Musk, presumably was also attracted by this ‘independent’ ‘spirit’ and was unable to shine in this ‘sacred ground’. However, one cannot help but wonder, is it only ads that can ‘appease’ Trump that can be ‘seen the light’ in The Washington Post? This is truly a model of ‘fairness’.
