We look at the unfolding ethics scandal at The Washington Post that has rocked one of the nation’s leading news outlets and raised questions about its future. The controversy centers on CEO and publisher Will Lewis, who has reportedly pressured journalists inside and outside the newsroom not to run unflattering stories about him. His efforts to reshape the newsroom in the face of steep financial losses have also alarmed staff, and British editor Robert Winnett, Lewis’s pick for a top editorial role, withdrew amid concern over his history of using fraudulently obtained information in newspaper articles. Lewis is also implicated in the long-running U.K. phone hacking scandal. Both Lewis and Winnett are veterans of conservative British papers owned by Rupert Murdoch, and The Guardian recently revealed that Lewis advised then-U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson on how to cover his tracks amid public outrage over violations of COVID precautions at the height of the pandemic. “At the most basic level of how journalism should operate, executives in charge of news in the public interest should not be suppressing news. It’s a pretty simple bar, and Will Lewis has failed to clear it,” says Chris Lehmann, D.C. bureau chief for The Nation.

Yet another example of who are leading our main media outlets these days … shame shame shame
Unaccountable billionaire owners.
why did you say shame 3 times? You think if I say karen 9 times you would understand?
Same as it's ever been.
Amy and democracy now are doing a great job and please keep it up by diclosing the truth and exposing the crooks and the wrongdoings by the criminals in our society.
Thank you so much.
I'm from the era before Reagan. It definitely wasn't perfect but there were Laws about how much influence one media owner could have. Owning too much media is not only control over what we believe, it is revenue going to just a few people.
Reagan's changes were deliberate but information belongs to us all. Monopolies need to ne dissolved, in News and in economic/business centers. The people must demand Rights in this world before Human Rights disappear for generations to come.
Arkansas Clinton continued with Reagan's destruction of our media and banking for the rich... Maybe the fact that Hillary worked as a young woman for the most far right Republican Barry Goldwater should have pId attention to her real agenda. In 1996 Telecommunications Act now, allowed one Company to own one areas media: TV, newspapers and radio. Far right Sinclair Broadcasting started buying whole towns and countys. I guess destroying Glass Steagall the FDR bankers Ng protection laws for our people wS not enough. So today we got Hillary the wRmonger still in the under the democrats umbrella for Gaza Genocide going after real democrats against genocide and not taking AIPAC dual passports Bloomberg, Adelson, Schwarzman and Black Rock Fink's money. America is corupt and kawl SS uncaring about its people's life ves because of both parties corruption of our media.
well said
Reagan paved the way for fake news by getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine. How do you think Fox News was created and why?
Reagan laid the foundation for all the things you see going wrong in this country such as union busting and the destruction of the middle class with his trickle down economics BS.
Hey let's not forget how his CIA allowed drugs into this country and then blamed the minorities - Just Say No but now it's an opioid epidemic, an illness. Okay....
It’s the Washington COMPOST. There i fixed it for you.
The Washington DESPOT
The top one percent has way too much power. Again the best sources of information are being dumbed down to the lowest common standard.
Uh, Democracy Now is one the best best sources of information. Beware of false profits
I’m not surprised and no one else should be either.
What is a society to do when its business and political leaders succumb to self-interest and all of its diabolica entrapments?
King Trump will turn the Post over to the People.
From long time this abuse of human right happens and all about Money 💰
If Steven Spielberg decides to make a sequel to The Post. It should be about this
The post RAG
The Washington Despot.
Tax all income and wealth above 1,000x the minimum wage at 100%.
Not income. Wealth and Assets.
what would that do for the people? punish the rich? why? cause theyre rich?
@@sheepheard483 The amount of income spent by the super wealthy is not proportional, meaning aggregate demand suffers. With net imports being negative, only investment and government spending can make up the demand gap. Taxing the wealthy as a transfer payment to increase consumption -- aggregate demand -- floats all boats. Question of real econ, not moralizing.
Damn, now Rupert and Lachlan will be making offers to him. He would fit right in at FOX!
Is it true that Bradley was CIA?
Great interview.
You know you’re doing something horribly unethical when Jeff bezos defends you.

Might be because Republicans always defund them, wouldn't you say?
