Welp, it's been a long downhill slide for the Washington Post, but this is sort of like just jumping into the ravine.

1. Post from Jeff Bezos: I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’'m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. | am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical—it minimizes coercion—and practical—it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. | offered David Shipley, whom | greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. | suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won'’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment—| respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’'m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. | also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market
