See, that's part of the problem. Historically, quality broadsheet newspapers are not _supposed_ to really be influenced by the owners. Like, arguably even Murdoch does better on this than Bezos with the WSJ (though _only_ with the WSJ, mostly); the WSJ broke the Theranos story, for instance, and Murdoch was one of Holmes's dupes.

It needs some hand holding from Bezos to get it in order. Perhaps in 5 years they'll shape up to compete to be a top outlet?
