The Contrarian

Jennifer Rubin has resigned from The Washington Post:

Jeff Bezos and his fellow billionaires accommodate and enable the most acute threat to American democracy — Donald Trump — at a time when a vibrant free press is more essential than ever to our democracy’s survival and capacity to thrive.

I therefore have resigned from The Post, effective today. In doing so, I join a throng of veteran journalists so distressed over The Post’s management they felt compelled to resign.
With Norm Eisen, Rubin has launched an independent effort in journalism, The Contrarian.

I like a free press. Full disclosure: I was among the informed idealists putting out my campus student newspaper, complete with journalism ethics.

Meanwhile, some believe in science, some in religion, and some in social media. I wish some psychologist could explain this last belief, because I "don't get it".
