Do you have any evidence Bezos is influencing the editorial direction of the WaPo? All statements I have seen of people working for or having worked for the WaPo say that there is a clear separation between Bezos and the editorial board.
- tobtoh 10y agoI can't remember which ex-newspaper editor said this, but it was in regard to a Murdoch paper and it was a discussion about the influence of newspaper owners and editorial boards, his commment was along the lines of: If the Editor can't figure out the editorial line that the owner wants without talking to the owner, he would never have become the Editor in the first place.
