Good for her. Sounds like a noble undertaking and should be a great read.

Sara Rose called Hegseth a patriot. If you are going to call Rubin insane you should call Rose that as well. Her Twitter feed is quite the MAGA hero worship. Anyone who ties themselves 100 percent to one type of view isn't really sane.

What's her connection to Rubin?

Sure if you prefer activism journalism. Journalists don't wear a T-shirt supporting a political candidate.

i have to say, 'the contrarian' is a bit of an ironic title inasmuch as the proposed venture seems quite definitively to have a point of view, and a point of view that is/was very much mainstream at that.

oh, and as for the tagline...i'm pretty sure it's owned by somebody.

but at the end of the day, i'm never really one to get worked up about more information and information distribution outlets.

Opinion writers aren't "journalists"...

It’s been reported that the WaPo has lost 90% of its readers from just a decade ago.
She’s just taking one of the lifeboats outta there.

oh, i dunno, i think she's sincerely, if petulantly, upset to learn that the inmates do not in fact run the asylum, even in newspapers, and especially if the guy who owns the asylum is trying to develop the real estate right next door.

WaPo ain't going anywhere - either in the sense of 'down the drain' or 'forward'. The capital city does need at least one home newspaper.

I agree with this but most “big city” dailies have suffered losses in circulation as well.
Even those not located near asylums.
Rubin has never been an especially stellar addition to the collection of writers at WaPo and it’s certainly no loss to the Post that she’s outta there.

The trash is taking itself out, I see

Can't we be consistent or do we have to pick sides for political points?

How often do you read the Washington Post? Just curious if you actually read it.

I don’t live in the area and don’t subscribe to the WaPo. I do read their columnists when available and I also see them when they are guests on Sunday shows, etc.
Do you read or follow them?

So no connection, just whataboutism. Got it.

More like being consistent with picking and choosing what to get mad about but you do you and take an imaginary victory lap. Your brain could use the workout I suppose.

Nope. BBC News is about all I follow for media other than local outlets like the QC Times and CR Gazette.

Oh my goodness, the lack of self awareness is so absent, but you are a liberal (watch him come back and tell me different) so not surprised.

Gotta love how self important they feel, announcing their departure to the world 😂
