I do wish it hadn’t taken quite so many horrors for us to get Shakespearean monologues on late-night shows but I suppose I’ll take the silver linings where they come

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

It’s unrealistic for readers to pay hundreds a year to get a wide range of reporting. And everyone thinks they can do without the machinery of big media—Fact checkers! Copy editors! Editors who challenge ideas and don’t let writers just hit “send” on a first draft!—but…most of us really shouldn’t.

"This is a political attack" well yeah man if your politics are like "we should be able to murder everyone and also pedophiles are cool" people are going to attack that political stance
