In case anyone was on the fence about cancelling the Washington Post

Here is today’s front page after VP Harris’s historic speech: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ Not sure if it will change but shows the rally with the headline about pro choice women for Trump, and, of course, the Biden “gaffe” story.

We’ve been subscribers for over 50 years. They are NOT endorsing. I had quite the conversation with the woman who answered the phone. (Don’t try to UNsubscribe by hitting THAT button. It doesn’t work. So I just hit subscribe & they were right there.). I am so upset by this. It’s just democracy, folks. The cowardice is unbelievable.

I was undecided about renewing my lapsed one and now am happy that I didn’t.
