Lol! As if they weren't bad enough.
Could be this will be mostly a vehicle for them marketing their AI writing coach.
Maybe wapo is an AI startup now.
Why do they think people buy newspapers in 2025? Good god

To be fair to WaPo, The Onion returned to print in 2024 and reportedly did pretty well from the move.
Granted, this is a bit of an apples-and-oranges situation - for one thing, the Onion is a serious journalistic outlet, whilst WaPo is not.
ETA: If you've had your interest piqued, you can grab the print versions through their membership program - minimum cost is a pretty hefty $99 a year, though.
Ha, glad to hear that the Onion is making it!
Sorry about my poorly specified post! My complaint was aimed more at Jeff Bezo's bizzare idea that people who go out of their way to pay money to to a legacy media newspaper want ai slop rather than human-curated investigative journalism.
Google gives out slop for free. Why pay for it?
