Washington Post columnist and associate editor Ruth Marcus has resigned after more than four decades at the newspaper, alleging censorship. Marcus wrote in a resignation note that CEO and publisher Will Lewis barred publication of her column critical of billionaire owner Jeff Bezos and his announcement that opinion pieces in the Post would henceforth focus on “personal liberties and free markets.” Marcus’s resignation comes just weeks after Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit to protest a rejected cartoon showing billionaires — including Jeff Bezos — genuflecting to Trump.
