Bezos caught lightning in a bottle when he came up with the Amazon idea. It doesn’t mean he’s smart. Quite the contrary, I’d say.

This makes me think of anti-trust but instead this time it’s between the government and big business waging a war on the little guy.

I’d say the connection is that WaPo is now going to be pretty much indistinguishable from the White House speechwriters’ room. You know those many instances of MSNBC apparatchiks making no effort whatsoever to hide that they were reading tweets from the White House directly on air as content? Like that.

I expect the WaPo will start targeting representatives that oppose the MFA for special treatment.

This crony crapitalism has got to be stopped.

Could well be; but a 'fix in the information'; perhaps; the larger point.

Will he have 'temporary' hours per Staff so as to avoid Obamacare? Will stories been written at DNC; and then sent to WaPo?

Whatever; Obama getting a lot done; in Washington. . .

Why did Bezon even bother? The circulation of WaPo is less than 500,000 - 1/6 that of the WSJ.

Advertisers care about paid circulation. Politicians and men who see themselves as 'movers and shakers' care about political influence. The Washington Post has residual influence.

Tax deal, bullhorn for O’s politics and, if it loses money, tax write off for Bezos.

Certain that the deal was in the making before O made it “official”.

These large media purchases are simply the libs’ way of spreading cash around to their cronies and paying each other off.

I've been a customer of amazon for many years.
No more business from me.

I'm not going to willingly help fund folks who worship at his altar.

It's enough that the American people are being stolen from every day.
I'm not going to help people like them get more.

There seems to be no way to escape these people. It is pathetic and disgusting. As for Obama; no end to his ‘accommodations’. Granted Hillary is as Left; but wondering if they be used for Hillary as easily; or is something else in the fire - or payoff - for Obama?

(Beyond promoting Obama's Immigration 'reform'; hiding Benghazi; NSA; IRS; CIA; FBI scandals/cover-ups - and creating a 'Legacy' for Obama, that is.

Of course; the above, should be more than enough. . .
