(Did anyone else see this?) John Podesta joins The Washington Post as a contributing columnist

WTF? It's official now, ethics in journalism is deader than the proverbial doo doo. This horrible man, this lying scum, is now a columnist for the Washington Post. I don't know what to say I'm so appalled, although I'm not sure why. I remember how it tried to help rig the primary with that Lewis/Capehart crap. Now the left has it's own 'Breitbart'.

John Podesta joins The Washington Post as a contributing columnist

By WashPostPR February 23
The Washington Post today announced that John Podesta will join the Opinion section as a contributing columnist. Podesta, former chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, will provide commentary and analysis on the intersection of politics and policy, the Trump administration and the future of the Democratic Party.

“No one knows more about how Washington works, how the White House operates, and how policy ideas are translated into reality than John Podesta,” said Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt. “His long experience in Congress, inside two Democratic White Houses and on the front lines of numerous presidential campaigns, will offer readers vital insight into Washington and politics at the start of a new era.”

The propaganda model is just as revelant today, as it was when it was when it was first published in '88.

Well, with the owner of the Washington Post being a billionaire abusive of the working class he drains for additional profits, peeved at Trump, and I rather suspect one of those eager to move off-planet, away from the greed-created social, economic and ecological global disaster many of the wealthiest are still frantically profiting from, would be right at home with the Clinton et al psychopath crowd and might he perhaps even have hired Podesta as PR?

Jeff Bezos, Riding High, Defends Decision to Buy Washington Post

By KATIE BENNER and NICK WINGFIELDJUNE 1, 2016

... The Amazon chief also addressed an investigation last summer by The New York Times that found the company had a tough workplace culture. Mr. Bezos said the article had not made him rethink how Amazon treated employees and that the company was “the gold standard for pioneering work.” ...

... A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Bezos traded shots with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, who accused Mr. Bezos of dodging corporate taxes and abusing his position as owner of The Post to launch personal attacks and to keep lawmakers from scrutinizing Amazon.

Mr. Bezos said at the time that Mr. Trump’s unsubstantiated statements were “not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave” and that he welcomed scrutiny and criticism of Amazon.

On Tuesday, Mr. Bezos reiterated it was “not appropriate” for Mr. Trump to “freeze or chill the media that are examining him.” ...

... Mr. Bezos also predicted that global population growth and energy demand would increase pressure to make space more accessible. He owns a space exploration start-up called Blue Origin.

He predicted that heavy industry would move off the planet and “earth will be zoned residential and light industrial.”

As an all-new oxygen-free, methane atmosphere start-up?

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
