I just don’t see how I can use Amazon after this disgusting display. Didn’t Bezos pretty much admit he bought the paper just to be house organ for the Hitlery campaign? I have always despised the media, but the Washington Post has hit the lowest point in terms of completely throwing out any pretense of objectivity.
Bezos makes zero profit from the WaPo, period. I would take a guess that he has to write out checks from his pocket every quarter to rebalance the books at the newspaper.
But here’s the thing. For lobbyists and political figures....they desperately need WaPo to exist and put their message out there. So Bezos can walk up and say he wants such-and-such tax code changed, and he gets it with no argument. If he wants someone appointed as ambassador to Seoul or Berlin, he probably gets it. So he has tremendous power over the DC power base.....up until Trump arrives.
The WP has reached a new low for national elections, but they have a history of being the mouthpiece for Democrat campaigns in Virginia. They actively campaign against our Republican gubernatorial and congressional candidates.

I’m currently shopping for a keyboard. I’m finding vendors who meet or beat the price offered by Amazon. So good alternatives to Amazon are out there.
