Up to you. I subscribe to the Washington Post and Rolling Stone because I like being able to have journalism in the world that doesn’t rely on an ad-supported model.
Yes. This story about the Georgia Guidestones has all the hallmarks of being, not news, but pure propaganda. And, that’s why they had to kill Khashoggi. MBS was actually a secret agent for Bernie Sanders trying to stop all the propaganda the guy was creating for the Post and ultimately help the United States.
Organizations are big and complex; they’re always made of people with their own individual motives, and a good enterprise with good journalistic intent can be owned by an evil man. I’ve seen maybe 2-3 stories in the Post which seemed to me like they had clear propagandistic intent, with all the rest pretty legit journalism which is rare for the US. I mean… I am actually paying money which is ultimately going to Bezos, so honestly maybe you’re right on that side that that’s worth worrying about. But it’s not a top-to-bottom evil enterprise like Amazon is.
sure, there are always people pushing their own agenda, but the owner might have a bit of disproportional power in that regard to the other people there, and just because a few stories have fallen outside the range one finds believable doesn’t mean the rest is free of said propagandistic spin
Wasn’t it destroyed?
Yep. John Oliver has a story about it. I think it’s just titled “Rocks”

I think they were destroyed after that segment aired

Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos fyi. It’s essentially his propaganda wing at this point.

Agreed. My reply follows similar thinking as you.

You could copy/paste the article for the rest of us poors, or an archive.org link
Man
To be fair, the subject line says “was”
But it also says “gives”…
Do you expect them to change two words from the original post from when it wasn’t broken? One word changed to past tense is enough!
