#1 Decline is dramatic for the post. The young people don't bother looking at the news in all forms of media.

#2 ..well you keep getting the same approved talking points from dozens of outlets from the ~~Politburo~~ DNC. They've made each other redundant.

#3 The Blue State plus Ohio “kill granny in the rest home” policy may have cut the Post daily circulation in half.

Better strategies for Bezos acquisitions that are spontaneously visited - slide a full size Almond Joy into his plastic pumpkin and hope he moves on to the next house. If he stays, challenge him to a game of chess. Use the chess delay to emergency scrabble all the remote workers in through shipping and back to their desks before the shark bump visit progresses to the tour stage.

#4 "I’m convinced this is going to be a protracted, painful wait for a lot of people," a Washington Post journalist told the Daily Beast.

So....you and your peers are aware of your ghawdaful performance?

Learn to fold.

#5 I have even less sympathy for these people than the future unemployed at Google and Microsoft. They deliberately lied about everything all the time. They brought shame upon journalism. Fuck 'em. I'd say I hope they all end up flipping burgers except that might take a job opportunity from some hard working illegal alien who, even though he or she might be here illegally, is still more worthy than WAPO hacks. It'd warm the cockles of my cold, black heart if WAPO would go out of business altogether.

#9 Nobody likes to see the Big Boss show up, but there's a certain joy in this visit.

Besides, how do you top four years of Trump bashing?
