The so-called elite media’s free ride is finally getting yanked away, and you can see the panic on their faces. Reports say The Washington Post is bracing for significant newsroom cuts as ownership and management prioritize the bottom line over prestige journalism, forcing editors to rethink bloated beats and expensive projects. For years the paper acted above the market — now it’s learning a lesson every American worker already knows: you can’t spend what you don’t make.
Now watch the left try to have it both ways — they attack Jeff Bezos for running a business while demanding he underwrite their political projects with his billions. Democrats and their media allies have spent years treating a wealthy owner as a piggy bank for ideological journalism, then howl when he makes tough business decisions instead of funding their activism. If the press wants respect, maybe it should stop treating gratitude for profitable platforms like entitlements.
The meltdown on social media has been glorious to watch: former reporters and self-styled guardians of the public interest are tantrumming about cuts to climate and equity initiatives they treated as sacred. The truth is Americans don’t want desk-driven advocacy masquerading as reporting, and newsrooms shrinking back to real journalism is long overdue. Let them scream — the marketplace always weeds out fads and entitlement positions first.
While the elite media binge on their own collapse, real America has been gripped by a heartbreaking crime. Authorities in Arizona say Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother was taken from her home and investigators have treated the residence as a crime scene, prompting a nationwide plea for tips and swift justice. The personal horror of a famous family reminds us that law and order matters to every community, not just the ones elite anchors live in.
On the political front, Democrats keep reflexively opposing commonsense voter ID reforms even as citizens across party lines support measures to secure elections. Conservative and independent campaigns — including high-profile signature drives and ballot initiatives — are proving that the public wants trustworthy elections more than partisan manipulation. If Democrats truly cared about democracy, they would stop blocking simple safeguards and start earning voters’ trust.
This moment is a wake-up call: the elite media can no longer hide behind prestige, billionaires can’t use newsroom ownership as moral cover for partisan spending, and Americans will not accept the erosion of law and order or the theft of electoral integrity. Hardworking patriots should demand accountability, support journalism that actually informs rather than indoctrinates, and insist our leaders put country over partisan advantage. The era of the media’s unearned entitlement is ending — and that’s a good thing for the American people.
