Does Jeff Bezos support snatching immigrants who are here lawfully and deporting them to El Salvador? Or snatching Russian dissidents and returning them to Russia?

Asking for Lauren Sanchez...

"And my point was not only about what columns would get through the filter, once installed; it was about maintaining the trust of our readers. I asked to speak with Lewis. He declined to see me, instructing an editor to inform me that there was no reason to meet, because his decision was final."

Columnist Ruth Marcus has quit the Washington Post, saying publisher Will Lewis killed an op-ed critical of Jeff Bezos' edict about the paper's opinion section. Lewis' decision "underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded," Marcus said. Here's more from @npr.

Timothy Snyder: Unfreedom at the Washington Post: How an editorial line fosters #authoritarianism

"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."

#Jacobin: "#JeffBezos has finally dropped the pretense. The world’s third-richest man has decreed that the #WashingtonPost, which he purchased back in 2013, will no longer publish opinions that challenge free market economics. With a casual diktat that would make William Randolph Hearst blush, #Bezos has laid bare what critics have long suspected: when #billionaires buy #newspapers, they aren’t just after profitable investments — they’re buying ideological bodyguards."

Subscribers to The Washington Post don't like Jeff Bezos's radical overhaul of the paper's opinion pages. More than 75,000 have canceled since the announcement on Wednesday. Current and ex-staffers have also spoken out, with former executive editor Marty Baron calling the move "craven." Between late October and the day of the U.S. election (Nov. 5), more than 300,000 subscribers canceled. The Post has wooed around 400,000 new subscribers since then, @npr reports, but often at highly discounted rates.

"Over the years, #Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a #WashingtonPost analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person. The payments stretch back more than 20 years."

"On Wednesday, Amazon founder, billionaire, Washington Post owner, and newfound Trump supplicant Jeff Bezos made an announcement that shook the media world and heralded the death of corporate media. ...

We should have known this day was coming the moment Bezos bought the paper. Corporate-owned media is doomed to fail."

Former Washington Post editor Marty Baron blasts Jeff Bezos for censoring liberal voices: "He is doing this out of fear of the consequences for his other business interests" https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-wapo-editor-marty-baron-sad-and-disgusted-at-bezos-opinions-overhaul/

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has announced that the paper’s opinion page will now be "in support and defense of two pillars," personal liberties and free markets, stating, via X, that legacy opinions have become outdated and replaced by the internet. "We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others,” he wrote. In his announcement, he said that the changes are based on American principles of freedom. @CNN reports that the Post’s editorial page editor, David Shipley, has left the paper after being offered the opportunity to lead the section. Staffers aren’t pleased with the move, with chief economics reporter Jeff Stein calling it a “massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos” that makes it clear “dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there.”

This is exactly why rich men buy media: to make them spew right-wing propaganda. Anyone still subscribing to or posting from the #WashingtonPost is…not someone I will be following.

“I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” Bezos said.”

#media #uspol


#WashingtonPost’s opinion editor, #DavidShipley, is exiting as #JeffBezos said the section’s focus would narrow to defend “personal liberties & free markets.”

“I am of America & for America, & proud to be so,” #Bezos said, in an email to employees. “Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm & everywhere else.
