Washington Post promises to publish a broad array of reactionary propaganda

You might be worried that the Bezos Post will just be a Daily Caller tribute band. But the new opinion editor assures the paper’s readers (if any) that they will publish both Republicans and Democrats who criticize Democrats from the right!
O’Neal calls the current state of the editorial pages a “work in progress” and that reshaping them will take time. That includes redefining the voice of the editorial board, which he says is still developing.
“So one day we might be saying, ‘Hey, you know, the president has a good point about Bagram Air Base,’ right? At the other time, we might praise Democrats who are standing up to [New York City mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani and his radicalism.
My cover band can play a diverse array of musical genres. One day we might do a Dave Matthews song, and the next day we might do something by Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors.

But don’t worry, they will also be willing to publish things critical of even Trump if he gets something wrong (i.e. does something that benefits Amazon’s major competition.)
