Charlie Sykes in his newsletter, To the Contrary, outlines the continued uselessness of the Washington Post.

To fully absorb the profound stupidity of the Wapo’s decision, consider the alternative timeline in which the paper published Telnaes’s sketch. If the Wapo had published it, both the paper and Bezos would have looked… better. The paper would have reasserted a modicum of independence and integrity; and even Bezos would have benefited.

Instead of looking like a thin-skinned, craven autocrat, he would have looked like someone big enough to tolerate criticism.

The Streisand Effect is in full effect here. Just weak management, poor decisions, and complete all around stupidity. Of course, the cartoon can be seen everywhere.
