Why is this ironic? Jeff Bezos doesn't have time to micromanage all of his enterprises. It's also likely that some individual writers and editors at the Washington Post disagree with Jeff Bezos on nearly everything. These are managed by people who do have time to micromanage if they choose, but these managers are optimizing for more local goals such as making the Washington Post profitable, not large-scale goals like shaping society to Jeff Bezos' overall profit. Given current trends, it might indeed be profitable for the Washington Post to take this side on this issue. And Jeff Bezos might see that profit as worth it, or might not even notice in the midst of his other investments.
