Amnesty International Gets Ratioed and Wrecked Over 'RIP Fact-Checkers'-Style Take on Mass WaPo Firings

The Washington Post laid off about a third of its work/propaganda force this week, but they're handling it well.

Just kidding:

There's a good chance a few of these former unbiased and objective journos will, within a couple of days, be in Minneapolis screaming "F**K ICE" into a bullhorn.

The good news is that when one door closes, another opens:

If your position at The Washington Post was recently eliminated, please consider applying to write for The Babylon Bee. We are seeking applicants experienced in writing fictional content presented in the tone and style of a legitimate news organization.

It's always nice to have potential employers reaching out.

After the Post's announcement, Amnesty International had a "press freedom" moment (what "freedom" guarantees anybody employment at a particular outlet?) and of course dragged Trump into the picture:

The Washington Post layoffs come at a moment when press freedom is already under assault by the Trump administration and journalists around the world face repression at the hands of their governments. With this massive cut to both international and local reporting, all of us,…

Wait, did they really just say that we'll now see "fewer fact-checked investigations"? Why yes they did:

The Washington Post layoffs come at a moment when press freedom is already under assault by the Trump administration and journalists around the world face repression at the hands of their governments. With this massive cut to both international and local reporting, all of us, including policymakers in DC, will have access to fewer fact-checked investigations on the impacts of decisions made in Washington on human rights around the world.

People don't want to read garbage about how racist we are if we own dogs or use a gas lawn mower. Or how sexist we are if we drink milk or watch Love Boat reruns.

We're tired of the lecturing and bullshit; we just want the news.

Left-leaning orgs are learning this the hard way. https://t.co/9QUG0CSqdT

And they're NOT happy about it.

Press freedom is under assault, but not by Trump. It’s under assault by deranged leftist zombies posing as journalists and ruining the credibility of the press. https://t.co/5PQdsa14oN

BINGO!

The amnesty international which is trying to force people through propaganda that men can get pregnant. https://t.co/IcMFGECS1i

Yep, that's the same one!

LOL.
Clown.

They didn't even have the professional dignity to return the Pulitzer they won when the Russiagate story turned out to be bogus. https://t.co/5vYBvwkhXb

Of course not, because they're serious "journalists," or something.

It’s a very sad day when Amnesty has reduced itself to shilling for the legacy media like it’s a human right issue. https://t.co/Bt75zbadC5

Now some of the laid off Post workers (with the help of Democrats of course) are making it obvious they think their profession is entitled to employment and permanent funding just because some of the owners have a lot of money. They still have some life lessons to learn.

Editor's Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives, all while running cover for the Democrats (that includes orgs like Amnesty Int'l).
