Joe Davidson, the famed writer who had helmed The Washington Post's Federal Insider column for the past 17 years, revealed this week that he quit the paper in protest after one of his pieces was spiked for being “too opinionated under an unwritten and inconsistently enforced policy.”
In a lengthy Facebook post, Davidson also took numerous swipes at Jeff Bezos, the mega-billionaire owner of the Post who has openly cozied up to Donald Trump amid the president’s return to power. This has included nixing the editorial board’s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris last election and revamping the opinion section to focus on the traditionally conservative values of personal liberties and free markets.
