They have lost 50% of their paying customers in the last year and I am loving it. Their product sucks. It is dishonest and all liberal and even democrats can't take the lies and far left slant anymore. Beezos will support it and it will continue to operate but it is good money after bad and he will eventually have to sell it but who wants to own a piece of biased garbage who clearly cannot attract an audience.
The funny thing? The rats working at wapo don't care. If this failing business cannot support their rat bullchit, that is fine with them. As you can see in the article, they are more concerned that the temporary leadership is all white. These are not smart people working there.
If ever there was a group of dishonest rats that deserve to be in the soup line it is those idiots at wapo.
WaPo boss sounds alarm over dwindling audience in heated staff meeting: 'People are not reading your stuff
"Lewis warned that the newsroom cannot afford to be resistant to change, saying that ‘decisive, urgent’ actions are needed for the company to survive upheaval within the media industry and a recent loss of subscribers and revenue," the Post reported.
"We are going to turn this thing around, but let’s not sugarcoat it. It needs turning around," Lewis said. "We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore."
Another staffer accused Lewis of choosing two of his "buddies" to run the Post, referring to Murray, who worked alongside Lewis at the Journal, and Robert Winnett, a former colleague from Lewis' stint at The Daily Telegraph.
"The most cynical interpretation sort of feels like you chose two of your buddies to come in and help run The Post," the staffer said. "And we now have four White men running three newsrooms."

Look at the Tug leftards who are alleged college graduates. They have no interest in objective facts or in paying for objective facts. When the basis for your deeply held policy beliefs are feelings based, you don't need or want any factual support. The Washington Post has been wrong on every major story since 2016. Why would any honest individual be a subscriber just to be feed lies? That gets rid of a lot of potential subscribers. What remains are lies and simplistic leftard talking points. When you can spend a half hour watching MSLSD or the Chicom News Channel and get the updated leftard talking points, why subscribe to a big city newspaper?
WaPo just needs to take the Biden strategy and tell people how good they have it getting the information they provide.
It may be that dems have finally realized how hard core left MSM is. Instead of demanding more neutrality, they just make the claim "they don't have an opinion" because they no longer subscribe.
Best part of the failure of major print outlets is the total lack of acknowledgement that perhaps, just perhaps, politically tilted reporting could have anything to do with it. All these "journalists" can go dig ditches and earn a real living. NOGAF

The trouble is that leftists aim to destroy institutions and when they capsize one they move onto another. They don't build anything they only destroy.
I assume these media outlets with outsized budgets for their talent compared to their ratings are being paid via taxpayer money laundered one way or another to cover losses.
