I’m a fan of your services but not of your power.
I started reading your post. As soon as it got to the juicy, interesting, humiliating part, I stopped reading.
I may fight with you & your newspaper one day and I don’t want to know intimate details that are no business of mine.
I’ve written a post about developments with the National Enquirer and its parent company, AMI. You can find it here: https://medium.com/@jeffreypbezos/no-thank-you-mr-pecker-146e3922310f
Ultimately, we‘re becoming a hypocritical nation of puritanical assholes and in the internet era of declining press revenues, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan needs to be revisited. The concepts of “newsworthy”, privacy, “public figure” need to be refactored.
I’m so sorry for you.
Your personal life is your private life.
I want to affirm that I have *no* right to know it. Not as a shareholder. Not as a Washington Post critic & reader, not as a citizen & member of the public w/ some bullshit “right to know.”
And I’m leaving this here for your journalists.
There are historical published standards for journalists to ensure that we don’t have to say “The news media are the enemy.” We need journalism. Desperately. Full stop.
I’m not sure why I am often the only one repeatedly harping on about this. It is as if no journalists or news media still take this seriously. But you are definitely *not* allowed to engage in Journopaigning (campaigning under the guise of objective reporting).
A correct guilt free quote would be “The news media that repudiate and scoff at the strictist journalistic ethics so as to advance their agendas and vendettas using ‘journalism’ as protective cover, are the enemy of the people, and should be crushed for a free society to remain free.”
I would never say "the media are the enemy of the people". We actually need a mainstream media that does its job.
But any media outlet which called Trump's rally a Nazi rally or called him Hitler is the enemy of truth and democracy. And therefore an enemy of the people.
