Jeff Bezos’ WaPo layoffs are a gift to the left — IF they’ll learn the lesson

The Washington Post’s newsroom layoffs last week brought a flood of media hate for Jeff Bezos, but they should have inspired a moment of reckoning for the woke left who went so crazy on Bezos’ dime while giving readers none of the content they wanted to read. So when the NHL’s Alexander Ovechkin was riding toward his historic goal performance for the Capitals, the big question for the Post was: Is it problematic to root for a Russian, given the war in Ukraine? But one area in which that chestnut does apply is the case of a newspaper that’s supposed to appeal to a wide audience in a major city, and instead only speaks to those who want constant lectures on the new thing that’s racist, sexist or problematic.
