I think that those who stopped their subscriptions (rumored to be 200K) should renew next week. Their message was heard loud and clear but we need the Washington Post needs to continue it's great work in protecting our Democracy. There are very few newspapers that have the ability to hold those in power accountable.

That in no way excuses Jeff Bezos for his cowardly actions.
