Jeff Bezos announced that the Washington Post will now focus on defending personal liberties and free markets while excluding views that contradict these principles. This bold shift has already caused resignations and ignited backlash from woke staff members. It also marks a significant pivot for the Post away from progressive ideologies, aligning more with pro-liberty and pro-capitalism values. Tune in to learn more about the broader cultural shift happening in the media and society, as a "preference cascade" is emerging, challenging the dominance of woke politics and allowing more diverse voices to be heard.

Highlights:

• “Bezos is announcing that the Washington Post is going full personal liberty (which of course is the exact opposite of wokeness) and free market capitalism (which is the exact opposite of progressive socialism). I mean, seriously, is this the Golden Age or what?”
• “The ultra-woke Washington Post lectured us every day with its absurd self-aggrandizing motto: Democracy dies in darkness. It now appears, in a wonderfully ironic twist, that when that darkness was dispelled and light truly came to the Washington Post, the only thing that died was wokeness itself.”
