2024-10-29
Arrr, the old sea dog Marty Baron be settin' sail on a fiery tirade 'gainst his former ship, the Washington Post! He be callin' their choice to keep their endorsement in Davy Jones' locker a "serious blunder!" Aye, even the parrot be squawkin' in agreement!
Arrr, mateys! Gather ‘round fer a tale o’ betrayal on the high seas o’ journalism! Former captain o’ the Washington Post, Marty Baron, be throwin’ cannonballs at his old admiral, Jeff Bezos, fer not endorsin’ a shipmate in the 2024 election—an act that Baron claims be a cowardly betrayal o’ principles!"Bezos, ye scallywag!" Baron squawked on the Boston Public Radio, "Ye have lost yer spine, lettin’ the likes o’ Trump rattle yer timbers!" The Post, once a fierce defender o’ democracy, now be forsakin’ endorsements, stirrin’ up a mutiny among the crew with resignations and angry letters flyin’ like cannon fire. Baron lamented the damage to their fine ship’s reputation, claimin’ it be a blow to the very heart o’ journalistic integrity.
Bezos, defendin’ his decision like a pirate protectin’ his treasure, argued that endorsements only sow discord among the masses. "We be losin’ trust, me hearties!" he proclaimed, tryin’ to steer the ship toward clearer waters. Yet Baron be worried the winds o’ cowardice would sink the Post’s credibility further into the briny deep.
