I subscribed because I am a longtime reader and because Bezos wrote a compelling op-ed about the need for unbaised journalism. Let's pray that time-honored tradition begins anew and that the Post becomes the forerunner of that renewed commitment.

I subscribed to know what the hell is happening in the US , harris or Trump -- Don't really care , just say what is happening and give your opinion.. we pick what is the truth from that !
