Rich Liberals: Please, Please Step Up and Save The Washington Post
You will lose money. Piles of it. But you will help save something far more important than money.

Stop buying from Amazon. Cancel your Prime subscription. Move away from Alexa to another smart speaker. Just quit lining Bezos’ increasingly oligarchical pockets. #saveWaPo #WashingtonPost
JFC, more evidence that the Post is circling the drain. Who’s in to help with a grassroots readers’ revolution to #SaveWaPo? Let’s start a nonprofit public trust corp with sales of common stock, like the Green Bay Packers, to rescue this beloved national institution!

There is a solution. We could organize a readers’ revolt to #SaveWaPo, by creating a non-profit public trust corp, like the Green Bag Packers. Raise enough $$ by sale of common stock to buy Post from Bezos, or crush him with a competitor, luring away top Post reporters and editors. Who’s in?

Let’s create a non-profit public trust corp, with shares of common stock, like the Green Bay Packers. Imagine 1 mil shares sold at $1,700 (10X a 1-yr WaPo sub) to raise $1.7 billion, enough to buy from Bezos, or crush him with a competitor, to lure away the best Post staffers. #SaveWaPo

Thanks so much, I’d like to learn more. The Philadelphia Inquirer is also owned by a somewhat unique non-profit corp, as I understand it. I’m just fascinated whether the Green Bay Packers model of fan-based public ownership of a beloved community institution could work here to #SaveWaPo

So true, revolutionary indeed. We readers could revolt to #SaveWaPo
Thanks for saying so! I think there are tens of thousands, if not a million, disgruntled WaPo subscribers who feel the same way. And that’s on top of the 250k who’ve already cancelled. #SaveWaPo

George, help me form a reader/common stock owners committee to help make this happen. #SaveWaPo

Yes there are definitely some models out there for alternative independent media ownership. It’s just so sad that a beloved national institution like the Post is circling the drain like this. Let’s think big to #SaveWaPo
