But they also believe Bezos is operating with a dose of fear about Trump, as well as resentment towards what he considers to be the Democrats’ “vilification” of Big Tech during the Biden administration.
Several of these people pointed to Amazon’s loss of that $10bn contract for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure project (Jedi) — the knockout punch of Bezos’s ugly battle with Trump during his first term — as a watershed moment.
“There was a joke at the time that it didn’t cost Jeff Bezos $250mn to buy the Post, it cost him $10bn,” the newspaper’s former editor Marty Baron tells the Financial Times.
A person who met Bezos days after the Pentagon blow says he was “deeply hurt” by the ordeal. “He sat there going: ‘This is not right.’”
For Bezos there are enormous financial risks to Trump 2.0. His business interests are vulnerable to the tax and tariff debates in Washington, and hold tens of billions of dollars in government contracts spanning national security and space. They are also subject to significant oversight and pressure from regulators.
Perhaps most important to Bezos is the future of Blue Origin, his passion project that aims to make space travel accessible, as the company vies to win US government contracts — often in competition with Elon Musk’s SpaceX."

How Jeff Bezos made peace with Donald Trump
In the past year, the Amazon founder has executed a sharp public reversal in his relationship with the president that has surprised even longtime associatesRafe Uddin (Financial Times)
There’s the last push I need to kick #Bezos #CaptainDickJet to the curb for good.
That said, any good recommendations? I was looking at something like #Amcrest cams with #ZoneMinder, but the latter isn’t super user-friendly.

Another Dark Day at the Bezos Post: Ruth Marcus Resigns After Censorship

"Jeff Bezos, who owns Washington Post, has announced its #editorial line: 'We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.' The use of these terms in this way demeans the concept of #freedom and pushes the country in the direction of #tyranny."

Katherine Graham, the brave owner of The Washington Post during the #Nixon vengeance spree, is the subject of a new feature documentary, "Becoming Katharine Graham", which just premiered at the Kennedy Center!
Meanwhile we have a White House tyrant who makes Nixon look like a saint and now controls the KC, a #WaPo billionaire owner who obeyed in advance to the tyrant and owns the company that produced the film.

Jeff Bezos Is Scared to Have an Open Debate on Economics
By banning perspectives critical of the status quo, Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is turning a major news outlet into a mouthpiece for market fundamentalists. If the ideas he champions are so defensible, why is he squeamish about debate?jacobin.com
Fmr WaPo executive editor Marty Baron condemned #JeffBezos’ revamp of the paper’s #opinions section in a statement to the Daily Beast, saying he was “sad & disgusted” by the #billionaire’s demands.

Bezos deletes 'LGBTQ+ rights' and 'equity for Black people' from Amazon policies
Amazon's modifications mirror similar actions taken by other major companies after Trump’s election victory, including Meta, McDonald’s, and WalmartIrish Star
Seriously though, I feel the absence of that revered institution, now that it's become the paper of apology and misdirection, and no longer of investigative journalism in politics.
