Washington Post Columnist Fired for Criticizing Charlie Kirk; Accuses Bezos of Censorship
Karen Attiah, a former Washington Post columnist, was fired after the paper deemed her social media posts following right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination “unacceptable.” Attiah stated she was the last remaining full-time Black opinion writer on staff. The Washington Post cited its policies on social media use but declined further comment on the firing. Attiah asserted her posts expressed “sadness and fear for America” and condemnation of political violence. She also noted this was a broader pattern of purging black voices.
