Read, Watch or Listen

Longtime Washington Post opinion columnist Karen Attiah was fired, reportedly for criticizing political violence and racial double standards. Attiah, who publicly commented on the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, alleges the Post accused her posts of 'gross misconduct' and endangering colleagues, claims she denies. The Post, undergoing a major overhaul under Jeff Bezos's leadership, declined to comment on personnel matters. Attiah notes she was the last remaining Black full-time opinion columnist at the Post.
