An advertisement by Common Cause, calling for Elon Musk's removal from his government role, was unexpectedly canceled by The Washington Post. The planned ad was to be a wraparound covering front and back pages in specific editions but was rejected despite clear compliance with guidelines. The cancellation has sparked discussions about the integrity and independence of the newspaper, particularly given Jeff Bezos's ownership and recent editorial decisions. An internal ad with the same message was also canceled as a show of solidarity. This incident reflects broader anxieties within the news organization regarding its mission and leadership transparency.
