He probably doesn’t want to give people more reasons to suspect that he might use WaPo as his personal propaganda platform.

- cromwellian 8y agoHe says as much. Of course, we all know the only reason WashPo publishes articles critical of the administration is Bezos right? It mean, it's not like every other mainstream paper all over the world does it. And for no connection, no connection at all, the Whitehouse is suddenly talking about raising the rate Amazon is charged for postage. That couldn't possibly be vindictive retaliation by state power to get a newspaper to change, could it? Nah.
- matt4077 8y agoHe really hasn’t given them any, has he? I mean, besides buying it. The Post has even been quite critical of Amazon, regarding HQ 2, for example.
- olefoo 8y agoHe actually seems to understand the relationship of publisher to newspaper in a way that fairly traditional. He ( in the form of Amozon ) has made it very easy to subscribe to the Post and helped raise it's paywall. But has assiduously left the editorial side of the house to the people he has hired to run it.
