@keprettybird See you there!

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@kaitlancollins Stunned that this is your first and main takeaway from this event.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@jonkarl Why just images? How about some verbatim comments from today’s speakers so we know what today was really about?

@TJG79 @eilperin @washingtonpost @sarahkaplan48 @brady_dennis @NaemaAhmed @ssdance @dino_grandoni Spot on. In fact, the only way I would RE-subscribe is if each story assertively stated that it was NOT altered beyond traditional, acceptable editorial review. This is now where we are.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@CAKitchener Respectfully, will you say the same thing to us WHEN your owner dictates coverage on the news side? Yesterday tells us very clearly that there’s no reason to believe he won’t.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@BenMullin @JakeSherman Distinction without a difference:

The Post had drafted an editorial endorsement for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris earlier this month. But it was ultimately scrapped by the paper's billionaire owner Bezos, also the Amazon founder, the Post reported

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@occunurse40 @jaketapper Not a Dem; thanks. Endorsement was written, but pulled. Motives count.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@CarolLeonnig Respect your work, but absent any recommendation of what readers SHOULD do, there’s little alternative. Doesn’t help when your owner’s company entertained the ex pres hours after the written endorsement was pulled.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@DebbiWilgoren Two questions that you should answer if we are to follow your encouragement:

1. If Harris was ahead by 10 pts, do you believe that there would be no endorsement?
2. When you are told to edit differently, would you encourage us to still subscribe?

@theJeremyVine Save us, @theJeremyVine!

@Danny_Clinch @SpringNuts_ @springsteen @John_Fogerty @PearlJam @eddievedder @johnmellencamp @davematthewsbnd @TheBonnieRaitt @JamesTaylor_com @Transparent_AP It was a great—and exhausting—night! Longest concert I’ve ever attended. Sorry, @springsteen!

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@theJeremyVine Bravo, @theJeremyVine! Chucking the coverage over here and opting for this terrific alternative!

@vanmorrison I have the pre-order vinyl with the forged signature art card that was promised to be handsigned by @vanmorrison.

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@DylanByers @PuckNews This makes my day!

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

@hongtao_yi @AnaDimand Congratulations, @hongtao_yi! So well deserved!

[Bill Shields @bshieldsjr]

Next stop, the Supermug, @chefgeoffs!

@RadioFreeTom But, the caravans, the caravans!

@RealJacobPerry This is great. About 20 years ago, I attended a book signing for his memoir. When he was signing it, I told him my parents—snowbirds from RI—lived down the road on Singer Island. He told me to get them in the phone so he could say hi. Class act!
