The Washington Post-Democracy Dies in Darkness

[marybourg]

I don't remember seeing this yesterday, but this morning, at least, the WaPo's masthead reads like this:
The Washington Post-Democracy Dies in Darkness

I guess it's officially fascism now.

[Renew Deal]

1. It's been there for at least the last few days

2. I would say that the sun is rising and driving out the darkness.

And Trump and Company are frantic.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. They've been running that subheading for about a week now.

Since they're getting away with it, it's not fascism yet. But it's a warning. Bravo, WaPo!

[marybourg]

6. Yes, I see. Since the news media always uses the current tense,

I read it as a news report, but it can, more plausibly, be read as an admonition.

4. But like in Terminator 2 after a little while, his lights come back on in time to save the day!

[MineralMan]

5. Good for them.
