I don't think it's unusual for an owner to exert influence over the opinion section. Bezos is a hypocrite for saying he wouldn't take a heavy hand with the paper when he bought it, and for pretending now that he's doing this for any other reason than not being willing to forego political favors. He sucks, and can't be trusted. But that's also always been true of the opinion sections of newspapers, which in the end are just a wordier version of the poorly-reasoned hot takes you can get for free just by reading this comment.
