Both current and former Washington Post staffers are expressing dismay at the paper's ongoing turmoil from financial woes to an ideological battle unfolding in the newsroom.

Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes recently announced she was quitting the paper after it spiked her cartoon critical of Post owner Jeff Bezos.

The Post’s opinions editor, David Shipley, said in a statement that he disagreed with “her interpretation of events” and that his decision was “guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had already scheduled another column — this one a satire — for publication. The only bias was against repetition.”
