Are you a former Washington Post subscriber who's been toying with the idea of re-upping? Well, allow us cats to save you a few bucks.
The Post has canceled a "Fire Elon Musk" ad buy that Common Cause and the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund placed for Tuesday. The ad, costing $115,000, would have wrapped the print edition and also would have appeared inside. Apparently that was too much for the knee-benders in Bezos World, who have refused to comment or explain.
The ad would have also advised readers to call their Senators and House members and demand that Elon take a hike. So, here's our public service announcement for the day: You can still do that. The Capitol switchboard phone number is 202-224-3121. Just ask for your Senator and/or Congressperson by name, and they'll connect you. (Common Cause offers more opportunities for taking action here.)
If our democracy survives for historians to write about these terrible Trumpy days, they will pin a lot of blame on the cowards and billionaire overlords in American journalism. We cats HISS.
