Bezo is going to FAFO that if the WP continue with its BS, it will be a has been news organization.

Killing the wapo under an greedy oligarch won't kill democracy.

Thanks hustler, your rage is $120/year right? The free version is a scam alert.

Selling a la carte opinions... of course they are

I never ever need other folks to co-sign my beliefs. Cowards

Dumped the Post a few years ago... Not sorry.

The Washington Post has already died in darkness. Bezos ensured that. Now it's just the "Washington Hoe" to me. I trust very little, (if any) mainstream media anymore.

Some of us who subscribed and read The Post for four or five decades — from print to digital — had enough and decided to walk away forever. No chance in hell we're interested in a $2 op-ed.

The WaPo, until fairly recently, had the best investigative journalism in the world. It's too bad they've fallen apart.

It's funny because I tried to read that article. They did exactly what you said and I said I don't want to read it that much.

WaPo's truth died in Bezos' darkness...just rump propaganda now so....PASS

What? No sympathy for Jeff Bezbos needing money to buy Liverpool FC?

Oye, if you're still reading the Washington Post... put a bullet in your head.

$2 or $2,000 makes no difference to me - Homey don’t play dat

Maybe I'd read that if they paid me $2. If it's under 500 words.

WAPO reminds me of WACO. IDK why.

They should pay US to read Ramesh Ponnuru. And more than $2, too.

#DemocracyDocket💙🗳️🗳️👆

Congress is only as good as the people in it. I will never understand why there isnt some mechanism for firing a rep who is blatantly not doing their job, and cant even answer a simple question about the bill they just voted on. Reading/understanding the damn bills should be mandatory.

Bezos destroyed an iconic newspaper.

I dropped my WAPO subscription of many years when they refused to endorse Kamala. I am now a paid subscriber of Democracy Docket. Thank you Marc for the work you do! ♥️

I had to look him up. He’s the editor of the National Review. I wouldn’t pay $2 to walk across the street then talk to him let alone read anything he has to say.

If they really wanted to sell news and get reputation back, they would pull a Woodward Bernstein and expose the Einstein files. Calling derp throat.

You'd think people who claim to favor a "plain text" reading of the Constitution would be against the filibuster, but since all the peole who claim that are completely full of shit...

I wouldn't pay Bezos $2 for a bowl of hot ramen.

What exactly is an “op-ed”?

I can get far better opinions on this site alone for free.

Jeebus. I subscribed to the Post for years and enjoyed their OpEd page--until Bezos drove out virtually every single columnist (Rubin, Sargent, Waldman, Telnas, Rampell, Capehart, Bump, Milbank, Petri) except people like Thiessen (go figure). No one wants to pay for the shit that's left, Jeff.

“This is going to ruin the podcast.” “What podcast?”

Voting them out will fix a broken Congress. Not giving the post a dime. Highly recommend Democracy Docket paid.

They can’t be serious. I would have zero interest in reading that even if the Post paid me $2

🛑 Stop grifting (again).

But Trump dying will. When the witch melted the monkeys and soldiers were free and f-ing happy.

I won't read it for free, so this is a no-brainer for me.

Most of WaPo's best writers are gone. Of course, they kept the dregs, like Marc Thiessen, George Will, Ramesh Ponnuru, et al. As a former subscriber, why would anyone pay for that? Bezos and the shitty editors he hired ruined one of the pillars of U.S. journalism.

Fuck WAPO, it $2 fee, and it's paywall.

Canceled my subscription a long time ago. Another formerly great institution ruined by Trump tech bro and corporate interests.

'26/'28!!! Straight ticket, blue no matter who. First we stop them, then we fix things. Seize power Kill the filibuster Pack the court Ruthlessly enact the liberal agenda

Especially now that it’s GOP propaganda

www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

lol no society in history has ever been failed by an institution more completely than the american people have been failed by the sycophantic stenography drones of our collaborationist court media (wapo division) none of this insanity would be happening without their complicity

WaPo is a lying fascist piece of shit. Sad. Just as well shut it down - it's worthless.

Hilarious. 2 dollars! Pathetic.

It looks like the Right is afraid the Republicans will lose the Senate

Remember when the NYT first went online? Paper was free but it charged for the op-eds. Waste of money.

Pay people for the opportunity to read their opinions?!? I stopped watching cable news because it was all opinions.

Two bucks to read somebody's opinion who might or might not know what he or she is talking about and won't stand the test of time anyway.

The filibuster obstructs progress. So do political parties, whose caucuses want to block or ram through legislation. Republic of democracy requires two things: • citizens of one district select one of themselves to speak for them • ethics, morality, and collaboration are used to negotiate not $$$

throwing out the waste; would be a good start! what i mean by waste are those who should never be given power in the first place! the filibuster is not in our constitution! it was added by republicans to make sure nothing passes in a democratic way! i hope if dems take both houses; they abolish it!

Paying two bugs for an opinion? I don't think so.

WAPO op eds are intentional rage bait. The clicks are from anger not really interest. What a bunch of dolts - thinking anyone would pay for the fake counterpoint, out of touch screed. They bought their own BS apparently.

Actually it probably means that the op-eds get even more unhinged and click-baity.

Pay to read someone's opinion. Why? There are enough talking heads that I don't bother with on msm and there's never an extra charge if I do...

Why would I even care to read that trash?

I’d rather use that $2 on a PowerBall ticket than a WaPo opinion piece or almost anything else.

It's not just the op-eds, it's any article. But you can subscribe for $20.

The Post is dead, yet still walking around pretending to be a newspaper

🤣🤣🤣like anyone wants to buy yr wee opinions jeffie Bz

I canceled my WaPo subscription earlier this year and won't re-up unless and until Bezos sells the paper, and the same goes for the LA Times, my hometown paper, that used to be good but is now trash.

Private equity. Such shitbags.

The best deal in media today: NOT reading the Washington Post costs $0.

Oh, they won’t want to read mine.

The reason the senate won’t get rid of the filibuster is that it’s too valuable. It gives each senator the individual power to effectively veto any legislation. With that, it empowers each of them to threaten and gain leverage for what they want. They’re not giving that away for Donald Trump.

And smaller ones! mdavis19881.substack.com/p/max-miller...

They'd have to pay ME (an undisclosed amount) to read that garbage.

When I read the first line of that, I thought you could submit an op-ed, pay $2 and they'd publish it. Like a cross between letters-to-the-editor and cheaper than classified ads.

Every single republican that voted for Blanch need to be removed from office no matter what they say or said

$2 will get you 4 rolls of TP. better use of paper

Not sure why, but this is just sad.

They might as well advocate returning to state legislatures appointing Senators.

I never ever read the Washington Posts Opinion pieces & is the WPO know that their branding is strictly Blue guys No MAGA would be caught reading an article & Trump does not read?

Bezos is a GREEDY ASSHOLE.

My subscription ends for good in 6 days

Maybe if WaPo pays me $2 I'll read it.

$2 for an opinion piece by someone I've never heard of? I can get as much of that as I want for free here on Bluesky... 🤣

WAPO - Dead to me.

BULLSHIT WAPO

A friend sends me Op-Eds as if they’re scientific research papers. lol Lately I told him - yeah if I was Andy Kessler I too, would be scared of people who want society to be more equitable. Still - it’s low hanging fruit - so I kinda enjoy them.

Wow my last $2 went to feed a billionaire. No can do

Everything is about money to these super rich assholes

Most of their editorialists that I read moved over to Substack anyway.

My god, is Bezos that desperate or has he found a new revenue stream with which he can rip-off even more unsuspecting, gullible idiots.

bsky.app/profile/nome... Democracy require justice to rebuilt Republic

replacing most of congress will fix congress

I've long advocated micropayments for the purchase of individual articles and newsletter items. But two bucks is too much! A quarter would make it a no-brainer.

Bruh...WHOLE PRINTED NEWSPAPERS DON'T COST THAT MUCH

Except that your reports, which I have read, are often wildly inaccurate and highly biased. You lie almost as much as the GOP.

I wouldn’t pay 2 cents for one.

I’m surprised..but not surprised..that one of the clowns at the WaPo thought that this was a good idea

No thanks! I don’t read garbage from a propaganda channel @washingtonpost.com

But poor Jeff Bezos. He needs a couple of extra fillers here and there!🙄

I haven't read a WaPo article since Bezos

Why in the name of all that is good would I PAY $2 to a compromised newspaper to read an opinion from someone I've never heard of? This is an insanely stupid idea, and one I would certainly not waste my time on.

Why would I want to read the lies of the oligarch Epstein class.

They would have to pay me (considerably more than two bucks) to read anything Ponnuru wrote.

please send Bezos $2

MAGA broke Congress. The midterms will help to fix it.

Doing my part lol

Washington Post has no credibility. It is dead. Especially since Bezos got his filthy disgusting hands on it.

Free archive link. Save $2. Warning: the article sucks. archive.today/VCn7z

two bucks to read Ponnuru? technically, the Post ought to be paying anyone to read *him*.

For me the market rate for a WP editorial is $100. That is how much they would need to pay me to read it.

I make an effort not to click on their posts, and if I do, NEVER to go to their site. I do buy from Amazon, but not Prime; they have decimated small local shops and have left my choices to them or other big box stores. What Covid didn’t kill, pricing finished.

I'm just gonna leave this here 👇🤗

Democracy died with Bezos

And there I was thinking that contirbutors to a for-profit media organization should be paid for their work.

Can't they recognize rejection; they're entitled white men in America⁉️🤡

I bet there’s countless pushes to upgrade to any of a million levels of ‘elite’ statuses, all while tracking and analyzing your every click and choice, and surreptitiously surveilling you to slice you into a unique demographic. That tells them what ‘truth’ to tell you.

This surprises me. Jeff Bezos is an intelligent man with the money to hire the best in marketing. There’s something else going on here.

Tried to subscribe, but the 'free' subscription wouldn't let me subscribe. ?????

Eliminating republicans would.

The Washington Post is dying a slow, painful death.

Just say no...I say this as someone who subscribed for 25 years

🤣

LOL. Nobody I know shares or talks about the WaPo or cbs anymore. We are not that impressed by the name

The President of the United States ia a domestic terrorist, and so are the ‘news’ outlets that support him. #CBS #FOX

I won't read Ponunu for free, let alone pay anything. WP thinks that by hiring these washed out RW writers, they will expand their audience. Instead, they have alienated their core readership.

Nobody's opinion is worth 2 bucks for me.

They should be paying us to read that drivel.

And someone needs to remind people of the filibuster's racist history (and that it's only helped Republicans and hurt Democrats.) www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Sadly had to cancel Wapo after many, many years.

This is really fucking sad. #ETTD #WaPo iteration

I subscribed in 2016, when they reported the facts. But when their owner interfered in 2024 with editorial choice, I canceled my subscription. Today, I'm happy I canceled. It's clear WaPo has lost its way and deserves to fail, and is hopefully sold to someone who values truth.

No one should give Bezos another $
