Jennifer Rubin Quits Washington Post, Slams Bezos for Enabling Trump, Launches 'The Contrarian'
Jan 13, 2025, 04:16 PM
Jennifer Rubin, a veteran opinion columnist at The Washington Post, has resigned from the newspaper, citing dissatisfaction with owner Jeff Bezos and the publication's handling of former President Donald Trump. Rubin accused Bezos and his 'cronies' of 'bending the knee' to Trump and enabling what she termed 'the most acute threat to American democracy—Donald Trump.' She is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen to launch a new startup publication called The Contrarian, which aims to counter the perceived authoritarian threat and promote pro-democracy content. The Contrarian plans to cover politics, law, culture, and even include a cooking column with 'pro-democracy flavor.' Rubin's departure follows a pattern of journalists leaving mainstream media outlets to start independent ventures.
