The establishment is in full panic mode as the Washington Post continues its death spiral, and frankly, Patriots should be celebrating. The same publication that spent years pushing Russian collusion hoaxes and covering for the Biden crime family is now hemorrhaging subscribers and credibility faster than Hunter Biden burns through crack pipes.

Jeff Bezos, despite sitting on a personal fortune of $261 billion, apparently can't be bothered to properly fund his $250 million media toy. As one observer noted on social media, "Bezos has the resources to fund the best newspaper in the world. He could set up a nonprofit to let the @washingtonpost cook on the interest alone. Instead he hired a hack to shepherd its decline and is now incinerating what's left."

But here's the real question: Why should everyday Americans shed a single tear over the demise of a publication that has spent decades serving as a mouthpiece for the administrative state?

The Deep State's Favorite Rag Gets What It Deserves

Former Ambassador Dan Fried lamented on Twitter that "The rise and decline of @washingtonpost has taken place within my lifetime. A sad story that will stain the reputation of those responsible for poor stewardship of a national asset."

A "national asset"? Give me a break. The Post became a national embarrassment the moment it decided to prioritize attacking President Trump over actual journalism. This is the same outlet that buried the Hunter Biden laptop story and pushed every anti-MAGA narrative the deep state could cook up.

"US dailies have been benchmark of journalism worldover, however, their decline signals losing grip of journalism in society," tweeted @NewsLabIndia, completely missing the point that maybe—just maybe—Americans are sick of being lied to by corporate media.

The truth is, the Washington Post's decline isn't a tragedy—it's a victory for truth over propaganda. When legacy media outlets prioritize partisan politics over honest reporting, they deserve exactly what they're getting: irrelevance.

As President Trump continues draining the swamp in his second term, isn't it poetic justice that the swamp's favorite newspaper is circling the drain right alongside it?

This is what happens when you abandon half your potential audience. My whole family used to read WaPo at breakfast growing up, now none of us trust them to report fairly on anything political.

Same story here. It's actually sad to watch institutions destroy themselves like this.

Finally someone is calling out what we've all been seeing for years! The Washington Post lost all credibility when they went full activist instead of actual journalism.

Exactly! I cancelled my subscription three years ago when I realized I was paying to be lectured instead of informed.

I'm curious about the actual circulation numbers - does anyone know how much their readership has dropped compared to other major papers? Would love to see the data.

About time! When journalists become activists, they stop being journalists.

The market is working exactly as it should - biased media loses readers, honest reporting wins.
