I applaud your actions. It's tough to inconvenience yourself for a futile gesture.

I know my FIL hates the WaPo and loves Prime. No way he would do this.

I've never run out of "things to say."

So you think me referring to you as "Aggie" is an insult?

Okay, you're right. I'll give you that one....

its the accurate news that many of you dismiss (knowingly so) to support that loose cannon up there.


Meh, not much of that coming from the WaPo. It's a tabloid publication that deal in sensationalized jeremiads at this point.

Haha, good for you. I subscribed to digital editions of WaPo and the NYT because real, honest journalism will be the downfall of Trump, the alt-right, and all your "alternative facts".

You used 4 dots in a sentence ending ellipsis and you're going to jump my shite for misspelling "propaganda"?

Seriously?

This is pretty much me too. It would have to take a pretty egregious, express action or statement by a CEO or owner for me to boycott something.

I mean content aside, the editorial values of the WaPo in particular are horrendous. The NYT is a shell of its former self too.

In a crowded marketplace I'll do it

But Amazon isn't getting replaced, and they certainly aren't getting dumped just because Bezos invested in WaPo who sometimes says mean stuff about POTUS
