What a crock... WaPo has regrets on this. :lol
“people are shocked, furious, surprised,”
Oh boo - f'ing - hoo. In a week's time, the significance of WaPo's neutrality will somehow be inexplicably less than the minutiae of now. This will be the case no matter the "winner" of this election.

The only regret was to have said nothing at all, from anyone.

It was only the liberal staff members that have major issues, and they are outing themselves.
Psalm 139:13 ~ For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

Jeremiah 1:5 ~ "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;

Exodus 20:13 ~ “You shall not murder."

The real issue is that the opinion people were silenced from doing their jobs because the owner is afraid of Trump. That’s the same as having some bombshell and being told not to publish it. Not cool.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

The Resistance begins now.

All they have that you don't is experience, education, and the capacity for critical thinking. They likey dress better too.

That goes for audiophile too. Too ignorant to know any better about how legitimacy works.

Worth noting the Las Vegas Sun and longtime Trump supporter and corpse Sheldon Adelson pretty much despised each other.

(In case anyone is wondering, yup, it's you're old friend Lester The Nightfly who got caught up in the great password upheaval of 2024. So who's the new guy in the avatar? That would be long time all-night radio jazz DJ Mort Fega, WEVD of NYC, Queens who Donald Fagen kind of acknowledged as being the inspiration for Lester The Nightfly. "The cool uncle you never had". I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this photo, pretty spot-on)

Presumably yes, but I suppose jazz and automotive repair advise or cooking tips might not be out of the realm of possibilities.

I did look up WEVD and the all knowing Wiki said:

"WEVD was an American brokered programming radio station with some news-talk launched in August 1927 by the Socialist Party of America."

so yeah, I guessin' there was more than a little conversation going out over the airwaves. :)

Do you not remember your email used to register? I'm sure MW can look that up or update it to a current one for you, as he is the admin. We can't lose the original Lester! :)

I think the old account was tied to a Yahoo (shuttering) email account that has been long since closed, so recovery would be a little problematic.

No worries, thanks for the support but I'm kinda of cool with Lester The Nightfly proper being buried on Halloween.
