The Washington Post Guild, the newsroom labor union, is going on strike for 24 hours. In a powerful video, the reporters talk proudly about the kinds of important stories they cover, showing you just how much the consumers of news stand to lose without the services of mainstream journalists:
Very fitting - Dec 7th... future generations will truly ponder which was the worse tragedy on this day. Pearl Harbor, or the time WaPo wasn’t able to cover how toxic masculinity creates climate change impacting the BIPOCLGBTQIA+ community.
Truly a Sophie’s Choice moment before us on this historic day.
It's true that they survived a bloody insurrection where millions gave their lives in the name of journalism, but that was nothing compared to taking a day off (potentially) without pay. Have some respect for these heroes.
I think Dan Quayle’s version more appropriate for this crew of navel worshippers: "…what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful.”
In fairness to Quayle, I think Chlamydia outdoes him in every category of incompetence. Quayle was (is) a pleasant person, just not the sharpest tack in the box. Chlamydia is not only unrelentingly stupid, but goes out her way to be insulting and mean as she wastes everyone’s time.
Every problem has a solution. Washington Post workers go on strike? The City of Eagle Pass has some extra people looking for something to do. Warmongers sending $60 billion to Ukraine, but running out of fighting age Ukrainian men to die for them? El Paso and Laredo can send some reinforcements. If American politicians are going to embrace replacement migration, why not take it to its logical conclusion?
24 hours is way too short. They should strike for a least a month just to see if anyone notices!
Permanently.
Beat me to the punch. Pretty sure the entirety of the staff at WaPo could walk off the face of the planet without me noticing.
🙌👍👍👍👍
The real reporting is happening here on Substack, by keen and stubborn observers such as yourself, Chris. Thank you.
OMG! Think of all the lies, misdirection, fake stories, bullshit narratives to which we won’t be subjected by these losers. How will we survive?
How will Zelensky buy his next yacht?
How will Missus Zelensky manage her next shopping trip?
How will Biden be able to continue killing & displacing Ukrainians?
How will we know if inflation is down?
Who will tell us the middle class is better than ever before?
Hey. WaPo? FOAD.
Thank-you for the "FOAD" callback! It gave me a chuckle and a smile.
Never would have guessed without the context

I better have some more caffiene to deal with this.
You don't understand! They "lived" "through" an "insurrection"! That should "mean" something!
Yeah . . . I don't care, either.

Twice the courage of the infantry on Omaha Beach. I mean, AT LEAST twice.
First of all: 😂😂😂😂😂
Ahem. Yeah. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
I mean seriously....A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Overly self-entitled pudding heads unite!

Oh my word … you just made me realize that Kamala is Dan Quayle.
In fairness to Quayle, I think Chlamydia outdoes him in every category of incompetence. Quayle was (is) a pleasant person, just not the sharpest tack in the box. Chlamydia is not only unrelentingly stupid, but goes out her way to be insulting and mean as she wastes everyone’s time.
One hundred percent agree. Quayle was just a harmless goofball, whereas the diversity hire is a seething, malevolent moron.
Perhaps I could care more if they were real journalists.
Hahaha, announced on Twitter. I guess they didn't want their news to die in their own website's darkness.
If they all get fired, do you think we'll be lucky enough for all of them to move to Canada?
…moved to Ukraine…?
Clearly the “Tell Me How This Ends” subscribers are in a huge panic over this.
Emotional support groups are forming
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they stop getting paid what they are “worth” will they start telling truth?
Uh, NO!

"When first reporter falls, second reporter picks up the rifle."
You think anyone of the boiled asparaguses in the pictures above could lift a Mosin-Nagant, let alone aim the thing or exert trigger-pressure?
Excellent choice of Iron Curtain manufacturer!!
They should go on strike forever, that'll show 'em!
If a tree falls on the woods....if they strike does anyone give a crap?
So on December 7th, we'll call it the "Wa-Wa-WAH-Po" in support...
How about calling it the Wa-Poo-Poo Revolt?
Too bad they won’t be gone forever.
I think they’re AI bots.
It would explain a lot.
