The Fasc Post
Go forth and donate to real journalism outlets! When I cancelled my Post subscription I took that money and put it into ProPublica.org and a few similar sites. (I was already donating to NPR and PBS.) We don’t have to let the billionaires provide our news, but we do have to contribute if we want independent journalism.
I am trying to find their RSS feed, because that’s the main way I read news, but I can’t find it. The “Follow us on X” button right below a report on Musk’s shenanigans is infuriating.
Propublica’s RSS feed is at https://www.propublica.org/feeds/propublica/main. There’s also a link at the bottom of their homepage
Thanks!
Propublica also posts their content on BlueSky, if you find that any more palatable
Unfortunately I paid for a year. I’ve had newspaper subs for at least a decade primarily to support real journalism. It’s not like I couldn’t find the words for free if I really wanted them. The people and the journalism is what I was paying for, not the words.
ProPublica.org is a great suggestion.
404 media does amazing work and could use another sub
Unfortunately I paid for a year.
Same. And it had just renewed. But in a year, no more.
Is it worth calling/emailing them to demand a refund? Especially if you were there for any specific journalists that are leaving? I think it would be very reasonable for WaPo to have to hear from its subscribers about these changes.
Hell, I would call to cancel with or without a refund.
I’d just be complaining to someone who has no decision making power as they tried to enforce the requirements of their job. It’s not worth my time.
I’m sorry to hear that the
New YorkWashington Post is doing this, but I guess that’s what happens when you let a guy like Jeff Bezos buy theNew YorkWashington Post. It becomes a much worse paper.Sure! The WP (short for Washington Post) is laying off people for several reasons:
*The boss said so
*Strawberry has 8 R’s
*They are not important and this is the least most amount of savings possible
*You never sign up dude.
WP (short for Washington Post)
I can’t help but laugh because it would have been easier to just write Washington Post.
Not to mention that the acronym isn’t even used any more afterwards lol
WaPo is what I know it as.
/edit and unsubbed a couple months ago.
*Strawberry has 8 R’s
I don’t get this reference.
Many original/new LLMs (gen AI) can’t correctly answer the question due to the way they break up words into tokens. One of the many flaws in current LLMs that stop them being as magical as tech bros want to market
This, let me know if you got any questions.
Yezs I have many questions! What’s that pic from?
It is a test that AI fails on many platforms. Can’t count letters.
Let the paper trumpet burn.
How long did Besos own this paper?
A little over 11 years.
So now was just the right time to burn it?
I recall folks saying Bezos was saving this paper when he bought it. There is no such thing as a benevolent billionaire. They only protect their own.
Yep, we made the mistake of trusting the media for too long. It’s not that they changed either. They’ve always just been as brainwashed as your next door neighbor. Now, when we look in we see them swaddling the dead baby which is American exceptionalism.
🤣 Especially Bezos, he’s a pure piece of shit
Especially all of them.
Incoming AI bot journalists. “Why Winter wildfires are actually good for the economy.”
So the darkness won, eh?
Take this regrettable upvote.
Did it? Dropped my sub a while back as the winds clearly started to shift. We’re here reading about it. We don’t need “the news” if it’s not going to deliver the product: truth about what’s happening in the world.
🤷♂️
Yes democracy died inside Bezos asshole
Should have known, nothing that has entered has made it out alive.
It never does. We’ll find or make real newspapers.
Both in this context, and a wider, societal context, yes.
willing to burn the fucking paper. what was once a top global newspaper, just for that shitstain in a diaper. fuck 'em.
It’s ironic that while I guess it about the Washington post (could be nyt), I’m at a loss of which one of the shitstains in a diaper they are referring to.
The second filthiest one, bezos
