Maybe it's only a veneer of independence, but I like that WashPo is reporting on this.
- nerpderp82 6y agoI came for the, "ha ha hah ha!". I know, did Bezos just pay for "street cred" for his WaPo? If the same writer follows up with, "Space Wenis, retirement project for Bezos to see new heights" then I know that the WaPo is an independent journalistic organization.
- eli 6y agoJeff Bezos isn't reviewing or approving articles in the Washington Post. It's as independent from its ownership as any media organization.
- peteretep 6y ago> It's as independent from its ownership as any media organization You forgot the words “should be” at the end there; most media organisations are very far from editorially independent from their owners.
