Karen Attiah Returns to The Post | Colorado Springs News

A major win for veteran columnist Karen Attiah: after being fired last year over social media posts following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, an arbitrator ruled the Washington Post violated its own union agreement—and ordered her reinstated with back pay. Attiah, who’s spent over a decade covering race, gender, and human rights, says she was simply doing her job as an opinion writer. The Post respects the ruling but remains silent, amid broader internal changes under owner Jeff Bezos—whose leadership has sparked subscriber backlash and questions about editorial direction. This case reignites debate over how newsrooms handle social media and opinion journalism. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
