It's been increasingly explicit that free thought is no longer permitted. WaPo staff got an email earlier this week telling them to align or take the voluntary separation package.
You’re right but IMO it’s worse - there are more people reading it already than any particular today’s media (if you talk about grok or ChatGPT or Gemini probably), and people perceive it as trustworthy given how often people do “@grok is it true?”.
It neatly parallels Bezos and the Washington Post:
I want maximally truth seeking journalism so I will not interfere like others do.
No, not like that.
Here's some clumsy intervention that make me look like a fool and a liar and some explicit instructions about what I really want to hear.
