Gee Jeff, I can't imagine why. Everyone they dont like is called a Racist or Literally Hitler or Facist or some other disparaging remark.

I think this is a big deal. He said it’s late coming. It’s time for the left to reel in the crazy.

Did Jeff come to Jesus? Probably there’s a more pragmatic reason.

I can’t help but wonder if this is related to Trump’s cease and desist warnings, and if these people have been alerted to evidence that was collected from 2020 and will be collected again. My gut tells me there is much much more to the story behind the scenes.

Say what you want about Bezos - he hit the nail on the head with his Op-Ed.

He has discovered those who believe the crap the media produces don’t pay to read it.

Maybe he's a Democrat. But he's not a "leftist". So he's tired of the crap they're doing.

Maybe.

I suspect Bezos is seeing a sea change election. If he wants to ride the wave, or just stay above water, changing the Washington Post to a fact based publication is a smart move.

We not only do not trust you, we have evidence to support that the news is corrupt & dishonest to its very core, and therefore does not earn our trust or respect. We want your licenses revoked on every level.

If he wants to change direction he will need to fire every manager, editor and writer.

I would not trust one of them to play it straight.

They are all insane leftists who live and die for the revolution.

They have no business in a newsroom.

The problem the media has now is that no one believes the negative stories against conservatives and the right. Without that their stories slamming Trump had very little effect and so they need to recalibrate.

Just consider, it wasn't that long ago that an indictment, much less a conviction would end a political career. Now, we're at a time when the smears have become so commonplace and are so artificially created that the institutions of law and journalism are not believed. I think Bezos might be trying to regain some of that lost ground. He's now finding out what it's like on the receiving end of leftist hate.
