Well they lost 8% of their radical left base, is the WaPo trying to make it up by being more fair.

This whole non-endorsement thing is very weird, I'm still skeptical.

The problem Bezos has is the gaslighted brainwashed Post readership devoutly believes in the lies the Post has been telling them. Look at most of the comments on his OpeEd!

These people will be back drooling if Trump gets elected….Trump was the “best thing” for the leftist media. I think Bezos wants Trump to win…for this reason only.

Interesting factoid. It’s owned by one of the very richest people on planet earth as a boutique project as a loss leader. There has never been a day or Mr. Amazon actually believed he would make a newspaper profitable. He couldn’t give a tinkers damn about a few people not subscribing.

It is good to be skeptical but as the song goes, “...the times they are a changing..”

The “news’ business is not what it once was and news outlets are no longer the gate keepers nor are they the only source for news.

By catering to the extreme left news outlets have pretty much blocked the majority of potential consumers of their products.

It would be like a bakery that only sold one type of bread. Some would like it but most would go elsewhere.

By moving back to towards the center and be willing to be critical of both extremes they could attract more consumers (and make more money).

If they don’t do this they will go the way of the buggy whip manufacturer (perhaps we should change this to rotary phone manufacturers).

Bezos wanted to increase his business losses for this year’s tax returns

Like always, I assume NPR has problems with objective reality. I bet $10.00 they are exaggerating the number of disgruntled radical liberal readers to make it sound worse than it is. 200,000 is a nice round number.

That the assault on free private media is being launched from NPR should be worth noting.

There was a similar loss when the NY Post changed hands. They made up for it.

Bezos is rich enough to take a short term loss on a prestige property that never made him much money compared to his main business.

If polls are to believed, our country is about equally divided. So, Bezos just lost 8% of his 2.5 million paid subscribers. Most likely from the extreme left.

But he stands to pick up 2.5 million more, if he’s good to his word about wanting balance in his newspaper. It might take a while, but seems to be a pretty good trade, from a business perspective.

This is getting to be a win / win deal and now USA Today has joined the list. The big media is trying to duck their decades long criminal actions.

They’re getting a small taste of the powerlessness that conservatives have been suffering for many decades.
