Democracy dies in darkness was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement

Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post fired longtime columnist Karen Attiah over the weekend. Per Attiah:

 The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being “unacceptable”, “gross misconduct” and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false. They rushed to fire me without even a conversation. This was not only a hasty overreach, but a violation of the very standards of journalistic fairness and rigor the Post claims to uphold.

Here’s the only reference Attiah made to St. Charlie of the Internet:

Here again we see the right wing definition of defamation in full force, which consists of quoting a person word for word without further comment.

Attiah did have some comments regarding white on white violence, but it’s long past time that we overcome the, if I may coin a phrase, “political correctness” that makes it impossible to discuss the pathologies of the white community without getting cancelled. Where are the fathers? Oh right: filling their houses with high-powered weapons, which they teach their soon to be completely mentally unbalanced by the most toxic swamps of the internet sons to use from a tender age.
