The third-richest person in the world bought DC’s premier publication — The Washington Post — in 2013.
Since then, Bezos’ publication has advocated for mass internet censorship, sex changes for minors, DEI policies, and vaccine mandates for the masses. It also condemned large swaths of conservatives for voting for the current president and played a major role in promoting the now completely discredited Russiagate hoax — an effort to sabotage his first four years in office.
What ties all these positions together is that they were largely rejected by voters in the 2024 election when they elected Donald Trump. Now, Bezos — along with his peers like Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires — is reading the room and making nice with the party newly in power.
He began this recalibration in October by asking the editorial board not to endorse Kamala Harris. Then, last month, he went even further by deciding that The Washington Post’s opinion section will now only publish pieces favoring “personal liberties and free markets.”
