Puck: Inside the Woke Coup at the Washington PostOh, I forgot: Welcome to Tuesday. The word "Tuesday" derives from "Tiw's Day." Old English Tīwesdæg 'day of Tīw', a Germanic god of war and the sky; translation of Latin dies Marti 'day of Mars', the god Tīw being equated with the Roman god Mars. Compare with Swedish tisdag. A key difference between Mars and Tiw is that Mars was the god of garlic knots and Tiw the god of cheesy bread. Their eternal feud lives on in the struggle between Domino's and Papa John's. By the way, the bundling of two letters together as in "æ" is called a ligature, because the two letters are tied to each other by a, yes, ligature. As an illegal alien may use, for example, to strangle an American 12-year-old girl to death. The hit piece attempted to link the would-be incoming executive editor with the British phone-hacking scandal. Dylan Byers reminds everyone that this was one of the most heavily-investigated scandals in British journalism history, and Winnett was never named as one the guilty parties. Nevertheless, the "Posties" smeared him as responsible for it. They even -- and this is amazing -- refused to publish his answers to their questions, claiming that he never responded. He did. They just didn't publish those responses. You can imagine the reasons why. The Post newsroom had been on edge for days over the shake-up, and a new, somewhat nebulous plan to build a "third newsroom" of soft content to grow the Post's audience. Lewis had amplified those anxieties by delivering hard, unvarnished truths about a business that had lost $77 million the previous year: "Your audience has halved in recent years," he told his journalists. "People are not reading your stuff. I can't sugarcoat it anymore." Gotta tell ya, shameless hit jobs written to advance one's own private interests are what "journalism" is now. Ya Boi Zach (who has now gone insane and is attacking people for fighting wokeness) had a pithy quote about "journalism" -- every article a "journalist" writes is either a hit piece or a puff piece, and they have already made the decision which it will be before they ask a single question. There is no such thing as neutrally-reported factual stories any longer; they're all propaganda pieces designed to hurt some person or group and advance the interests of another person or group. It's just all political "war room" propaganda now. The Post journalists' attempt to investigate their own boss and future editor is their right and privilege--that's how this business works, even if their work had an emotional agenda. The news media loves to cloak itself in a patina of strenuous nonpartisanship, but it is still the product of human beings. The journalists may have also been motivated by another friction between Lewis and Buzbee. On multiple occasions since becoming publisher and C.E.O., Lewis had expressed concerns over the tone of the paper's coverage of the Israel-Hamas War, which he and others inside the paper viewed as having an anti-Israel bias. Lewis had also questioned Buzbee's apparent reluctance to investigate the financing behind the pro-Palestinian protests on American college campuses, which Politico had reported were backed by major Democratic donors. At one point, Buzbee also revealed that her daughter was participating in the protests on her college campus. Of course. ... Buzbee, who lost her job to Winnett, set off this "smoke bomb." And then, to "investigate" Winnett, they assigned a guy who himself had been passed over for the position. Everyone directing this has a specific monetary and professional interest in the outcome of the "investigation." There is no thought whatsoever to giving this "investigation" to a disinterested, not-personally-invested person. And: Mike Murray, the once-passed-over would-be executive editor, is now being considered for the executive editor job now that he successfully cut the hamstrings of the guy who had been given the job. It's like "Mirror, Mirror" -- the evil "Posties" only advance through assassination.
... But the activists aren't done yet -- New York magazine wonders if Will Lewis, the CEO who hired Winnett, will be the next to be fired. Oh, right, we're pretending these people are "voluntarily withdrawing" from high-paying, prestigious jobs to spend more time with their former jobs. Check out CNN's Chief Deplatforming Officer Oliver Darcy, reporting that morale at the Post has "fallen off a cliff." Oh no! "It's as bad as I've ever seen it, truly," one staffer said Thursday, noting that The Post has hit "rough patches" before, but that the stormy atmosphere hanging over the Washington outlet is unprecedented. Uncouth! What a sassy little skinny-jean bitch. The "Posties" have formed a whisper network to question whether Lewis, like Winnett, just isn't a good fit with the woke failure Washington Post. Are the Post and Lewis just not a good fit? Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion. (From Donnie Darko. My brother said that on occasion.) | Recent Comments
