Now I see the news... and it's apparent that Bezos has fired 300 employees. Killing news outlets is an important early fascist development for the destruction of a democracy. Here's an opinion on it: https://slate.com/business/2026/02/jeff-bezos-washington-post-layoffs.html

LOL - the amazing Bezos had to fire 300 of the best journalists in the US. Got to break 300 eggs to make an authoritarian omelette.

I have no idea what a race-based journalist is, so I looked it up. AI says:

A race-based journalist, or more accurately a race reporter or beat reporter covering race, is a journalist who focuses specifically on how race, racism, and identity impact society, politics, and culture. They work to uncover systemic inequities often overlooked by mainstream media, providing nuanced narratives on race-related issues.

I seriously doubt anyone at the WaPo wrote about that after Bezos took over in 2013.
