As a reader of the Washington Post, I was saddened by the news of February 5, 2026 that one-third of its staff was eliminated, including its sports section, several foreign bureaus, and its books coverage in a widespread purge that struck harsh blow to journalism and to its legendary brand. Martin Baron, the Post’s first editor under its current owner, Jeff Bezos, called this action “a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”

I just read Joe Tone’s January 22, 2026 column in The Washington Post on the right and wrong words for parents to say to their teens postgame. In anticipation, you, as a parent, may conjure up some words but not know exactly how to approach your child to say them. In many cases it is kind of hit or miss. When your teens do well in a game, you want to applaud them and speak about their great plays. However, when there are some bloopers made during a game, you may want to avoid comments so as not to call attention to them.
