Democracy Dies in a Rebrand

The Washington Post, formerly one of America’s most respected newspapers and home to the slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness” unveiled its new mission statement this week: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America."

This smells a lot like the time Google dropped their unofficial “Don’t be Evil” motto in favor of the watered-down “do the right thing” – bland double-speak that can be interpreted any way they choose.
