I’m with Kara on this one. I’m tired of spineless, coward, self serving people trying to please these awful oligarchs. It’s like nobody dares to just speak the damn truth about anything. How the hell did we get here?? Go Kara, there are many people just waiting to see strong individuals to fight all this fricking madness that we find ourselves in.
Kara, I don’t idolize people in general but you have reached the top of the heap of admirable people for me. You’re inspiring as a woman who is brilliant, has defined your own wildly successful life to include family, not that money is everything but you’ve earned at a level that competes w men, AND your voice is respected & you use it. I absolutely want to watch what you do moving forward. Bravo 👏 Scott…..love ya but zip it. She’s on to something.
Kara is everything that you say, and Scott agrees with that. But I think that Scott's point is smart to first clear it with Jeff that it is for sale! As my brilliant granddaughter informed me long ago after I sent her a guest column that I wrote in our local paper, "Nobody reads newspapers anymore, Granddaddy!" She was right and the was 10 years ago.
@ as i said, I don’t idolize people. But I can admire or respect a person. That can also be taken away if/when said person goes down a path not so respectable….like Elon for example. He was admirable & now he’s extremely questionable. But as you say, many have Elon on a pedestal unable to assess his flaws/risks.
The difference between Kara & Scott is that she’s got more fight in her. No shade Scott….you do you. I’ve heard you speak, you’ve shared when you’ve messed up or got burned, & now you use your knowledge to give sound advice w CAUTION for others to avoid pitfalls. Good & valuable message. BUT KARA isn’t advising people to do this or that. She’s got well earned money, power, & influence and she wants a dog in the fight. Let her fight. You don’t chain up a prize pit bull. Go get em Kara! And Scott, you can watch from the beach.
You guys are a kick! Great, BTW, to see friends who respect each other disagreeing strongly but amicably. Go get 'em, Kara. There are so many parts of our country, including media, which are ripe for exploding out of their ossified boxes. Education, governance, rights to privacy - all kinds of stuff. Get the ball rolling.
Was Scott lost for words? Kara wrenched the righteous bombast from Scott. YES!! You two are great playing off each other. The passion is palpable. Cheers.
Kara - please do this….We need fresh ideas and a woman to step up and get shit done. You are one of the only people I feel who could really shake things up.
Kara could bring the post to TH-cam in a way that changes the game. A brand (wapo) that takes revenue from the only generation that has any, and put it in to content on TH-cam for the youngins.
We need people like Kara. Don't get me wrong: she will fail, because the system is the way that it is because it's working and those at the top have taken many steps to ensure it stays this way... but at least people like her will slow the descent into chaos.
Kara, I wish you success. I hope you can do it. WAPO is a great paper with a storied history. It should be owned by someone who is not for sale, someone who will NOT obey in advance.
I'm with Team Kara. I love reading WaPo but have felt guilty recently about my subscription because of Jeff Bezos bending the knee to Trump. I like Prof G's premise that newspapers should be owned by a trust.
In Katherine Graham's Memoir, she wrote how she charted new territory. Stand on her shoulders. Find the "new way." Multitudes are behind you, Ms. Swisher.
Such an awesome interaction.The eternal life dilemma... Like watching Steve MacQueen and Dustin Hoffman. Embrace the passion of an ideal no matter how improbable, or choose the path of least resistance. Loved it!
Kara - I look forward to seeing the headline when the acquisition of the WaPo is complete. We desperately need to protect and grow the actual factual, free press - free not just to share ideas and coverage of what’s happening in the world, but also as free from special interests as possible, free from the influence and control of oligarchs.
I love this!!! Not a belt way person myself & listen to mainly podcast, but where they get the news they talk about from & where I go to reference if what they’re talking about IS from places like The Post. We need investigative journalism. I would renew my subscription if this happened.
Great chat.All for transparency..Then we can get get behind who we really would love to listen to.Make it available like we had different papers and chose what we wanted..
Love the honest conversations. Much respect to you both! About ready to start reading Burn Book, which I missed last year. Spent many years working in tech in Silicon Valley, so I am sure it will be very interesting and timely.
What makes Kara admirable is that she’s willing to sacrifice something (money, time, etc) for something she believes is “noble”. If more people did that (politicians and citizens) we wouldn’t be in this mess
The Days of Howard Hughes, Ted Turner , Billionaires owning content are OVER! +Content belongs to The People and The TRUTH! As Per our United States of America.🇺🇸
@@Merriwether-w8k let's be clear. the first amendment is about GOVERNMENT restriction on free speech, which is irrelevant to what Kara is trying to do. And Kara already has free speech (this podcast + all her other public work) and has an audience in the millions. What Kara doesn't have is Institutional Power. That's why she wants WaPo. so this isn't about free speech. it's about power.
@@kenwarner Its about protecting the free speech of the people who work at WaPo - so yeah, she needs power to do it - but the press is the watchdog on government and Bezos is no watchdog - he is sucking up which is the marriage of corporations and the state (fascism) so yeah, she is protecting free speech - criticizing the government and corporate oligarchs is essential to America
@@kenwarnertrump isn’t explicitly restricting free speech in his position as president elect, but he is definitely working towards getting news organizations to preemptively censor their publications! Once officially in office, he will likely be more explicit. He has, after all, said he doesn’t think anyone should be able to publish something about him that he doesn’t approve. The press cannot be the watchdog of government that our founders envisioned if publications are censoring their news to avoid upsetting trump.
Suprised that Scott did not see the brand opportunities here and the unique position The Post holds in the American mind that i've seen from the inside. The paywall makes it a membership business that management under Bezos cannot explore. And Bezos would benefit as part owner. Good luck Kara.
Kara- I want in on the ground floor of your Post bid. I can probably get like, $300 together, maybe $400, and whole bowl of change in the hallway if that’s what it takes. I have a great idea about page numbers that will increase readership (it starts with the word random!’). I have only a short list of editorial requests and two or three demands. My salary is very reasonable and lightly negotiable. Looking forward to working with you!
There's a newspaper in Zurich, Switzerland called Republik that was built as a start-up by a bunch of local journalists who got tired of working for the big publishers. It's basically owned by their subscribers. Yes, after about 3-4 years they're still struggling, but I believe that's mainly because it's a very small market. Given the size and reach of the Washington Post, the new owners could implement a similar business model.
I’m with you buying the Washington Post. Love your bravery. Can citizens join in? Politicians ask us for money. So can you!! Can a newspaper be owned by the people? The population needs someone to wake them from their slumber & willingness to be led by the nose. 👏👏👏👏
Kara, stick to your ideas. Fresh and needed. My idea. Local news is failing both financially and professionally. Make them rigorous local investigative and community reopening. We don’t need all the repetitive national news or those awful syndicate columns. Have the local outlet tap into Washington post for global and national. Need to provide hard copies to older citizens who do not access internet. It could be printed locally.
GO Kara! I agree with you! You would be perfect to take over the WP. I'm behind you 100%
Go Kara. I would love it if you could manage to rescue what, historically, has been one of the world's great newspapers.
Do it Kara!
Please don’t let our democracy die in the dark.
lol
I’m with Kara on this one. I’m tired of spineless, coward, self serving people trying to please these awful oligarchs.
It’s like nobody dares to just speak the damn truth about anything. How the hell did we get here?? Go Kara, there are many people just waiting to see strong individuals to fight all this fricking madness that we find ourselves in.
I love Scott but I admire Kara. You go girl.
Love Prof G and typically agree with his take but on this one, I'm 100% with Kara. Go get 'em.
Kara! I'm behind you 100%!!!!!! This is what we need right now, and YOU are the woman to make it happen!
Kara, I don’t idolize people in general but you have reached the top of the heap of admirable people for me. You’re inspiring as a woman who is brilliant, has defined your own wildly successful life to include family, not that money is everything but you’ve earned at a level that competes w men, AND your voice is respected & you use it.

Agreed, Kara is one of my favorite people on the planet!
Kara is everything that you say, and Scott agrees with that. But I think that Scott's point is smart to first clear it with Jeff that it is for sale!
As my brilliant granddaughter informed me long ago after I sent her a guest column that I wrote in our local paper, "Nobody reads newspapers anymore, Granddaddy!"
She was right and the was 10 years ago.
I like her views but I will never put anyone on a pedestal. Especially if you don’t know them personally.
@ as i said, I don’t idolize people. But I can admire or respect a person. That can also be taken away if/when said person goes down a path not so respectable….like Elon for example.

Hear hear. Kara is amazing, she should be one of the people leading this country!! she’s an inspiration
Oh do I hope you succeed Kara ~ what a joyous thought !!! Katherine Graham is cheering from wherever.
The difference between Kara & Scott is that she’s got more fight in her. No shade Scott….you do you. I’ve heard you speak, you’ve shared when you’ve messed up or got burned, & now you use your knowledge to give sound advice w CAUTION for others to avoid pitfalls. Good & valuable message. BUT KARA isn’t advising people to do this or that. She’s got well earned money, power, & influence and she wants a dog in the fight. Let her fight. You don’t chain up a prize pit bull. Go get em Kara! And Scott, you can watch from the beach.
you’re teaching girls & women how to speak for themselves! i love “its factual, im a better journalist”❤
we need a hero, Kara. and we need a place that will allow us to speak truth, facts and ideas without fear.
Great dialog and civil disagreement. I for one applaud Kara's approach and would subscribe to a digital WP if she can make this happen.
You guys are a kick! Great, BTW, to see friends who respect each other disagreeing strongly but amicably. Go get 'em, Kara. There are so many parts of our country, including media, which are ripe for exploding out of their ossified boxes. Education, governance, rights to privacy - all kinds of stuff. Get the ball rolling.
Was Scott lost for words? Kara wrenched the righteous bombast from Scott. YES!! You two are great playing off each other. The passion is palpable. Cheers.
You go, Kara! 🤩❤
Yes ! Kara, Do it !
And get MacKenzie Scott onboard.
It sickens me to see these "Tech giants" turn into Trump's little puppet one by one 🤡🤡 🤡
The tech giants, as you put it, are pretty flawed human beings. Most of them are on the spectrum and lack empathy and a lot more.
Great idea!!💙💙
Thanks Kara for taking action on an important topic.
Go for it. There's a growing need for low-buzz engagement journalism
Kara - please do this….We need fresh ideas and a woman to step up and get shit done. You are one of the only people I feel who could really shake things up.
Awesome. If anybody can do this, it's Kara. Scott needs to chill out.
100% awesome, Kara, make it happen please. Scott, why are you such a downer on this.
Kara I love the ideas you shared in this video. And I love how you keep it clean. GOOD luck getting the Washington Post. I believe in you!!!
Get after it, Kara!
I just love you Kara!! I'm with you!!🙏💙💙🇺🇲
Don't stop, Kara!!! Loud and factual 24/7/365...we need the newsprint and responsible reporting.
Kara could bring the post to TH-cam in a way that changes the game. A brand (wapo) that takes revenue from the only generation that has any, and put it in to content on TH-cam for the youngins.
Do it! Would love reporters to be able to own major, legacy media!
Thank you, Kara💫
Do it, Kara!
Go Kara Swisher!!
You are a bloody legend ⭐️
GET IT KARA
We need people like Kara. Don't get me wrong: she will fail, because the system is the way that it is because it's working and those at the top have taken many steps to ensure it stays this way... but at least people like her will slow the descent into chaos.
Sorry, I’m too frugal (broke) for cable, print or digital media
BUT, I Would subscribe when new ownership with free speech and morals comes to be
Good for you! Pray the deal goes your way🙏
Go for it, Kara! I would start reading the Washington Post again if Kara was the boss/editor.
I’m rooting for you Kara!
Kara, I wish you success. I hope you can do it. WAPO is a great paper with a storied history. It should be owned by someone who is not for sale, someone who will NOT obey in advance.
Kara, you buy Washington post I will be subscribing 🇨🇦
I love that these two love each other and speak their truth and push each other to be great. It’s a great template for an honest relationship.
Be so good if everyone debated stuff out like this. Robust, comprehensively and intelligently.
Really hope for your success....go for it!
GO KARA. Don't let anyone disrespect what you can achieve.
Keep up the great work 🎉
I would give every penny i have to be part of this acquisition.
Kara, Keep it up.
Do it Kara!! You have huge support!!
I love when these two get heated over something, you can almost taste the friendship
Let’s go, Kara!
We need more people like kara
Go for it!!! Let’s get back to basic journalism!!
You go girl!! If you buy it I will get a subscription the next day!
I'm with Team Kara. I love reading WaPo but have felt guilty recently about my subscription because of Jeff Bezos bending the knee to Trump. I like Prof G's premise that newspapers should be owned by a trust.
Wow, I can't wait to see. I love honest media sources.
Please, please do it Kara!
I like this idea Kara. Subscribed.
Fantastic. I just canceled my subscription yesterday, because they nixed that cartoon. If you buy it, I will definitely resubscribe
You go Kara!!! I’ll subscribe!
Good luck Kara
I would loveeeeee Kara to do it. She would be brilliant at it. We need it Kara. Don’t listen to anyone just go for it.
In Katherine Graham's Memoir, she wrote how she charted new territory. Stand on her shoulders. Find the "new way." Multitudes are behind you, Ms. Swisher.

Love her!
Yes! Kara buy Washington Post! I’d buy it then. Now, yall got any tech bros that have some morals to buy X???
Great idea. DO IT!!!
"he's gonna do it and he's gonna like it." Slay, Kara, slay!

You are right Kara.

I would re-sub in a hot minute if you can pull it off! Godspeed Kara.
Would love to see Kara take over
