“The money is not the rehire. The rehire is Jeff Bezos doesn’t want to sell it becainclude he sees it as a tool now,” Sdesireer shelp on the daytime gabfest.
“Musk has X, and he has this. Now, what’s happening though, is all the reassociate outstanding people are leaving. Ruth Marcus equitable left, a terrific columnist, the head of P.R. equitable left, the head of communications, equitable yesterday, and they’re equitable losing subscriptions and it’s all due to Jeff’s skinnygs,” Sdesireer shelp.
“He enjoys to condemn the increateers. They don’t enjoy to alter, and I would have consentd 10 years ago, but the increateers do comprehend that they need to alter,” Sdesireer persistd before Gelderlyberg chimed in.
“So, maybe,” Gelderlyberg shelp as Sdesireer asked if she wanted to be take partd.
“I do,” Gelderlyberg shelp. “Maybe the idea is… crowdfunding, becainclude I skinnyk lots of people would cherish to be part of a novelspaper that had someskinnyg to say.”
Gelderlyberg shelp she’s watched crowdfunding do “amazing skinnygs,” and experiences it could help mend the Post.
“Or maybe it’s time for a novel novelspaper,” Gelderlyberg shelp.

The Post did not promptly reply when asked for comment from Fox News Digital.
The “head of P.R.” that Sdesireer referred to was presumably CCO Kathy Baird, who increateedly declared her resignation this week. The Post has not validateed her exit.
Bezos declared in February that the opinion section would be centered on writing “in aid and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free labelets.”
Earlier this week, lengthytime Post columnist Ruth Marcus detailed her exit from the paper in a piece for The New Yorker, calling out the paper’s unveiler for ending her column critical of Bezos.
“I stayed until I no lengthyer could—until the novelspaper’s owner, Jeff Bezos, rehired an edict that the Post’s opinion giveings would henceforth center on the tthrive pillars of ‘personal liberties and free labelets,’ and, even more worrisome, that ‘seepoints opposing those pillars will be left to be unveiled by others.’ I stayed until the Post’s unveiler, Will Lewis, ended a column I filed last week conveying my disconsentment with this novel straightforwardion. Lewis declined my seek to encounter,” Marcus wrote.
