He just doesn't, sorry The key line for me was "they let me do it" Many saw that as resolving him from blame. I thought the opposite. I thought it made him sound even worse. It made it sound like he can do anything he wants because he is famous and powerful. After watching him for eight years, we know that is exactly how he feels about everything. And no women lets a man walk up and grab her pussy no matter who he is. There are women that want to have a relationship with a man like that so they can enjoy the wealth and fame, but none of them want to be sexually assaulted. Edited October 26, 2024 by Tiger337 Quote

mtutiger Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 (edited) I've been seeing this take a lot from journalists in the wake of WaPo's **** up... But if consumers aren't satisfied and want to send a message, what other means are there to get it acrossrd? Journalism is very important, but the industry's inability for self-reflection is a big reason we are here. Edited October 26, 2024 by mtutiger 1 2 Quote
Edman85 Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 If they were truly stifling their opinion staff, why have the following articles run? If anything else, this has allowed their pages to show more pro-Harris editorials and drawing attention to their opinions page to read them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/26/washington-post-endorses-kamala-harris-satire/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-editorial-board-wapo-endorsement-2024/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/washington-post-presidential-endorsement/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-columnist-no-endorsement-2024-trump-harris/ 1 Quote
romad1 Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 The Michelle Obama Kalamazoo speech is fantastic. 2024 Romad looks back at 2012 Romad and just shakes his head. Quote
romad1 Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 The thought that BOP goons will be in a phalanx on the Lincoln Memorial and given shoot-to-kill orders when people try to protest… Quote
CMRivdogs Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 They're not even pretending to hide it anymore. Why would anyone even consider to vote for today's Republican Party Quote
