Seems to me that someone’s who paid by the people to perform a job is not actually required to perform the job - using that flawed rationale, I certainly don't see any reason for any court to hold a newspaper to any ‘journalistic standards.’
Hope they burn a whole lot of the Post's resources in the court case, but don't see it ever reaching a jury. (If it does, of course, Bezos is losing a billion dollars.)

The civil case against the WP isn’t about journalistic standards.
It’s about defamation of a private individual who is also a minor. That is definitely a matter for the courts.
