The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

RIP WAPO.

In February 2025, Mr. Bezos issued a directive to focus the opinion section on “two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” He wrote that the section would “cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”

The opinions editor at the time, David Shipley, resigned over the mandate and Mr. O’Neal took over months later. Under his direction, the paper’s editorial positions often encouraged lower taxation and less government regulation.

The Opinion editor is resigning, but not because he disagrees with Bezos. He was doing his bit to ruin WAPO.
