Sharing that same article from the WaPo cartoonist that quit, but with a comment: They say that owners of news orgs should uphold their "public obligations" and "nurture a free press." I'm not moved by calls for a more enlightened aristocracy that lives up to noblesse oblige. The press is not free so long as it can be bought and sold. Belief in editorial independence should've died, at the latest, when Manufacturing Consent came out.
