Two GoFundMe campaigns for the hundreds of Washington Post journalists pink-slipped by Jeff Bezos have skyrocketed to a combined $724K in just days, turning the far-left newsroom’s mass layoffs into a viral pity party. Launched by sympathetic insiders and allies, these fundraisers— one hitting over $400K and the other nearing $325K—aim to cushion the blow for scribes who peddled endless anti-2A screeds, from demonizing AR-15s as assault weapons of war to amplifying every Bloomberg-funded gun grab narrative. It’s a delicious irony: the same crew that spent years framing law-abiding gun owners as domestic terrorists now begs for digital panhandling from the public they so relentlessly maligned.

Dig deeper, and this fundraiser frenzy exposes the crumbling facade of the legacy media empire. The Post’s newsroom, a hotbed of activist journalism that routinely buries stories inconvenient to the gun-control agenda—like defensive gun uses or the failures of red flag laws—is bleeding talent because even billionaire owners can’t subsidize endless flops forever. Bezos axed 240 jobs amid a subscriber exodus, with circulation tanking 50% since 2020, partly because audiences are fleeing to independent voices that don’t treat 2A rights as a punchline. These GoFundMes, flooded with small-dollar donations from coastal elites, underscore the echo chamber’s desperation: without corporate welfare, their anti-freedom crusade grinds to a halt.

For the 2A community, this is a win worth celebrating—and a call to action. Every dollar funneled to WaPo alums is a misallocation that could have gone to pro-gun PACs or range days, but more importantly, it signals the media’s vulnerability. As these fundraisers climb, let’s amplify the layoffs with memes and reminders of their greatest hits: WaPo’s NRA sells a different story propaganda or hit pieces on concealed carry heroes. Support real journalism that defends the Second Amendment, starve the beast, and watch as the narrative flips—because when the ink runs dry, our rights endure.
