Maybe the Washington Post is rebuilding through the draft? 
Maybe this is all part of a rebuild plan? Now if they can win the lottery and draft a once-in-a-generation journalist, all will fall into place.
I remember a Washington Post columnist stating after our sell off to start our rebuild…”If I was a Washington Capitals season ticket holder, I would go to Ted Leonsis’s home and burn my season tickets and throw them onto his lawn.” I am proud to say that I am not canceling my subscription to the Washington Post!
That is very funny, Mr. Leonsis! Actually, I am very concerned about the buyouts at the Washington Post. I do not consider that newspaper to be a commodity — I see it as a value-added product based on the trust in its writers I have followed over time. If I don’t know the writers, the editors, or the more senior journalists influencing the rank & file, why should I trust them?
Let’s see, this year, the price went up while the number of quality writers at the Post is set to go down…not a good combination. We’ll see where it goes, but it doesn’t look promising. Your analogy was dead on, this is like the Caps during the sell-off, but I suspect their rebuilding plan won’t be as successful as the Caps have been to date…
Washington who? Isn’t that the newspaper that is sold in pet stores?
I don’t subscribe to any newspapers. All the news I need is at washingtoncaps.com
