WaPo is propaganda for Bezos, but even then he tries to pretend that there is some editorial independence.
WaPo would only be pro-Democrats as long as it benefited Bezos, or if individual journalists leaned that way.
I really doubt there is a quid pro quo of a $10bn contract for what limited sway Bezos has over WaPo.
If anything, the fact that Oracle did not receive the original contract shows how limited political contributions were in affecting the outcome of this contract. Larry Ellison was a big financier of the last administration.
