Timing is everything.
And we can’t think of a better time for Washington Post multiplatform editor Laura Michalski to tweet this:
Happy first day to all the @washingtonpost interns!
— Laura Michalski (@MichalskiLaura) June 6, 2022
Today alone is a red-letter day for the Washington Post:
- Christina Pushaw shreds WaPo for ‘blatant factual errors’ in article about Gov. DeSantis
- ‘Democracy dies in DRAMA?’ HOO BOY, the ridiculous girl (sorry, WOMAN) drama at WaPo just keeps getting WORSE and worse and ROFL
June is young still, but it’s been jam-packed with red-letter days:
- WaPo helps confused Americans understand the economy by explaining why high gas prices aren’t Joe Biden’s fault
- WaPo continues to cover themselves in glory with embarrassing editor’s note for Amber Heard’s defamatory ghostwritten op-ed
- Content creators bust Taylor Lorenz for lying about them in her WaPo piece about Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial
- WaPo’s Dave Weigel apologizes for retweeting ‘an offensive joke’ about women
- ESCALATION: WaPo journo Felicia Sonmez says executive editor Sally Buzbee’s letter has led to ‘*more* harassment’
Happy first day to all the Washington Post interns! Hope they have a backup career plan.
The comments on this are both hilarious and a sad commentary on WaPo and the current state of U.S. media. https://t.co/RQiZfh5fKZ

In that case, we hope the WaPo interns are reading the comments. It’s for their own good, really.

The sad thing is that some of them think they're working in journalism. https://t.co/KEzyCcaiQ6

Well, technically they are working in journalism. Journalism just happens to be a sh*tshow right now, particularly at outlets like the Washington Post.
