Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has called the The Washington Post's decision to lay off his son Ishaan and over 300 other journalists and staff "a perverse act of self-immolation". In the now-deleted post, Tharoor said, "The bizarre thing about this so-called 'business decision' by The Washington Post is that Ishaan's column flourished on the Internet, where he had 500,000...individual subscribers."
