"Arrr, I be Ari Fleischer, once a White House parley-man! I be cheerin' Bezos and his Post, aye!"
2024-10-28
Arrr, me hearties! The squabble ‘bout the Washington Post not throwin’ its hat in the presidential ring might just be a boon fer journalism! As a former press secretary, I be raisin’ me tankard to Bezos’ cheeky choice! Aye, let the ink flow and the tales unfold!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout the hullabaloo at the Washington Post, where the scribes be raisin' a ruckus over their paper's lack of a hearty endorsement fer Vice President Kamala Harris! Aye, these landlubber journalists, outta touch with the common folk, be favorin' the left side of the ship, and their howlin' reaches the high seas when their views ain't echoed in print.Ye see, trust in the media be sinkin' faster than a lead cannonball, with 69% of sea-farin' Americans givin' it the ol' heave-ho. These scallywags in D.C. and New York cling to their outdated ways, thinkin' they be the guardians of the truth, while the rest of the crew cries foul!
Back in the day when I sailed with President George W. Bush, the tides were changin'. Reporters, once fair, turned activists swabbin' the deck with opinions rather than facts, especially when the likes of Trump set sail. But fear not, for the mighty Jeff Bezos be showin' a glimmer of hope by callin' fer neutrality in the editorial seas!
If journalism be to survive, it needs captains who value fairness. So hoist the sails, me hearties, and let the truth steer the ship, lest these journalists be findin' themselves marooned on the isle of irrelevance!
