I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

嘴上说着推崇 personal liberties，结果就把不同意他意见的给赶走了，哈哈
no one knows better about XXXX than me, just beatuiful！
喜欢他，所以最近买了他家的会员。 离婚时能看出他是个decent 人 这个信看出他是有信仰的人
普林斯顿的高材生, 肯定没有短板. 不过这样的人选举时不招人喜欢, 太精英了. 不过他也是花了心思了, 看来还不太想把报社的工作人员都惹毛了.
显然一个是凭本事进的藤，另一个凭别的进的。
普林斯顿出身啊，比沃顿出身的基本功扎实啊。但这不妨碍他们大资本家的底色，基本立场一致。
这个没啥, 老板决定报纸的风向, 小兵意见不一样就另谋高就吧, business世界就是如此 liberal应该主要是关于堕胎啊同性恋啊这类问题
