WAPO sold its soul like other MSM outlets. Because Trumpism loves its billionaire supporters and the money-grubbing oligarchy loves him right back, enough to pay tribute in gaudy gifts and capitulation.

All done with a wink, wink to the First Amendment, of course.

Bezos and his like-minded owner/editorial colleagues have driven a stake through the heart of our once free press.

Never forget, never forgive.
