The Spin
Narrative A
What a shame that Lewis has decided to gut the Post and appoint his buddies and former coworkers to top jobs. Morale at the Post has bottomed out and Lewis is putting financial maneuvers ahead of insightful and hard-hitting journalism at a crucial time in the US and the world.
Narrative B
In the face of union squabbles, layoffs, internal discord, and an exodus of newsroom veterans, something has to be done to steady the ship. The harsh reality is that Lewis must take decisive action to save this historic paper from irrelevance and begin its turnaround.
