Let’s zoom out from the present election and remember how Bezos took over…
The first thing he said was “The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners.”
We, the readers, should require an apology from Bezos for breaking his promise to keep this separate from his other concerns.
Until that happens, one must assume that WaPo is permanently compromised in the favor of Bezos’s interests.
It’s not about Kamala, it’s about literally everything.

- fallingknife 2y agoI don't doubt that, but what company isn't compromised in favor of its owner's interests?

- adr1an 2y agoI took the same comment on a different way. To me they're referring to the fact that there are many other media outlets. Not only the big ones that do the same. But the smaller, "independent", that deserve more readers. granted, they may also have interests or agendas. They point is we need decentralization!

- Teever 2y agoDoes an apology matter? Do we really need one? How will an apology from Bezos improvement life? What would improve mymlife are clear concrete actions not measly words.
- iambateman 2y agoHonestly, it’s all words unless the paper itself is sold to an independent nonprofit solely devoted to journalism.
- mc32 2y agoIndependent journalism that delves into both/all sides and does not rely on soundbites and extracting things out of context and has no agenda but the truth Like during Covid they would allow vigorous debate about efficacy, lockdowns, deplatforming, etc. It's a dream but would not last. All sides would attack it for being for whoever the boogeyman they think is.
