The Washington Post will reportedly become the latest media outlet to conduct mass layoffs as its digital subscriber base plummets. Syndicated radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton reacted to the news Wednesday after Travis tweeted a video of a contentious town hall at Washington Post headquarters.
Travis said the Post has lost a whopping 500,000 digital subscribers since President Joe Biden took office.
“The Washington Post and the New York Times have become so utterly dependent on their subscription business,” said Travis. “This is a big part of why their coverage is so left-wing and biased because their subscribers are so left-wing and biased.”
Travis reported that the Washington Post had an “all hands on deck” meeting Wednesday and it was announced at that meeting that mass firings will occur in the first quarter of 2023.
“All those Washington Post reporters that have been looking down their nose at you and telling you what an awful human being you are because you voted for Donald Trump are suddenly realizing that they work for a for-profit newspaper and that newspaper is in trouble because Trump isn’t in office,” said Travis.
Travis said that many mainstream media outlets are going to have to reconcile with the question of how to cover Donald Trump’s bid for another presidency.
“Trump derangement syndrome was a sugar high of sorts,” Sexton said. “Because they were able to get their base all fired up and riled up about how Trump was worse than Hitler and working with Putin and stole the election. CNN had garbage shows and moron hosts that did very well in the Trump era.
“Propaganda in support of the regime of Joe Biden is boring,” he added.
