And Psipook’s Smear of the Year is …
Time has its Person of the Year thing.
Psipook has its Smear of the Year.
Why should the corporates monopolise the validations?
Time: putting the MAGA in magazine.
Time in its person statement says ‘for better or worse’, but we know how this malignant narcissist (verified) will read that. Even the orange dollop can’t misread ‘smear’.
In not unrelated news, veteran editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes has resigned from The Washington Post after a cartoon she drew depicting billionaire Jeff Bezos in supplication before Donald Trump was spiked by the newspaper.
The newspaper is owned by Jeff Bezos.
Bezos last year directed The Washington Post not to endorse Kamala Harris in her election campaign. The Washington Post normally chooses which candidate to endorse without an owner’s instructions.
Within hours of Bezos’s no-endorsement order, executives of Amazon and Blue origin met with Trump.
Amazon and the space exploration company Blue Origin are among Bezos-owned businesses that still compete for lucrative federal government contracts.
The Washington Post lost 250,000 subscribers after Bezos’s editorial intervention. It remains to be seen how many they will lose after Telnaes’s resignation.
Meanwhile, free speech absolutist, Elon Musk uses X-Twitter to broadcast his propaganda and silences dissent on that platform.
