The WP was such a great paper. As a librarian (long ago) the WP was one of the few newspapers we would recommend for HS kids to use as a reliable source when they were working on research papers, current event background etc. Many library patrons would come in every day to read it as well as the NYT, WSJ, etc. It breaks my heart The
Post has sunk so low in really a very short period of time.

Is there another buyer lurking in the woods who would be willing to support and restore it? Is Bezos even willing to sell? Or his game plan turn it into another Faux News style of “information” ie totally and completely useless for any verifiable information.
