January 1, Washington Post Hemorrhages 100 Million Again

Wyatt’s Take

• Washington Post lost over $100 million this year alone.
• Staff slashed 30% after costs soared and stories plunged 42%.
• Exec admits no more paper of record amid talent exodus.

The Washington Post keeps bleeding cash. They lost more than $100 million in 2025, after $100 million last year and $77 million in 2023.

Bosses call it a painful restructure with 30% staff cuts.

In a tough meeting, acting CEO Jeff D’Onofrio said newsroom costs jumped 16% in five years while stories dropped 42% since 2020.

Executive Editor Matt Murray told staff:

“We’re not a paper of record; there’s no such thing anymore in today’s world.”

CEO Will Lewis quit weeks ago claiming he wants a sustainable future. Stars like Jennifer Rubin and Jonathan Capehart bolted too.

Jeff Bezos wants timeless American values and personal liberties. That ticked off the D.C. crowd used to establishment cheerleading.

Their new AI podcast flopped hard spitting fake quotes. Editors fumed as fixes piled up.

Pentagon shot down a hit on Pete Hegseth claiming a kill order. Navy Admiral Mitch Bradley said it never happened.

Sports and foreign desks shrink as readers and writers flee. Can Bezos’ wallet save it from half the country’s scorn?

Folks, spread the word—real Americans see through elite media games.
