It's hard to separate the general malaise of the newspaper industry from the objective damage that Bezos has done to the Post's reputation. A ton of people canceled their subscriptions right after Bezos refused to have an endorsement. Local message boards filled up with employees claiming that the actual news reporting was still being done well and not to cancel just because the op-eds were now explicitly partisan. They're probably right, but the op-ed pages represent the accumulated wisdom of journalists spending decades in the career, and having that wiped out lost a lot of the paper's value to the people who used to read it daily.
