3. This is a longstanding lament by the Post media columnist

The irony is that when Bezos bought the Washington Post some years ago, the sale included a chain of excellent local newspapers in Maryland, the Gazette newspapers.

Guess what Bezos did.

He killed all the Gazette papers.

The Post barely covers Maryland, usually only when several dead bodies are involved.

We have almost no local news except for occasional bits on Patch.
