I wonder what Bezos was thinking when he bought the Post. I know what Musk was thinking when he bought Twitter. He wanted to fix it. He wanted to stop the lies by being able to post the truth without getting banned. But Bezos? He just bought it, put up a virtue signaling masthead and then stood by while his paper lied to the American public about the biggest stories effecting the country.
It's not ego, it's called buying influence and shaping political narrative. Why do you think the leftist activists are so keen on taking over all these failing media organizations?
Same with Soros buying radio stations, it's not about the business or money.

His face after getting called out. So fucking mad. Then pulls the offended card. Lol.
I think he thought he was going to make money off it.
Should have paid me a very large consulting fee and I would have said, "Are you phucking kidding me?"
If that is Hewitt? He resigned from the WAPO
I hope I got the name right
Doing nothing at all would have saved this Bezos guy billions. I can't grasp the business logic.
Guessing he was thisclose to claiming racism, too.
yes
The money doesn't matter to him. It's an ego thing.

Also, the $250m purchase price meant nothing to him in relative terms.

They were already left leaning before he bought that rag. Passing on endorsing Kamala is pretty stunning, actually.
