4. I cancelled my digital subscription to the Post when Bezos canned the endorsement of Kamala Harris.

I had added the subscription a few years earlier so I could read articles linked to here at DU. I found the website itself disappointing.

I grew up in D.C. and a nearby suburb. I delivered the Washington Evening Star for years in the second half of the 60s but always subscribed to the Post because I thought it was a better newspaper. I still read it though the Watergate era before moving out of the area in 1975.
