Jeff Bezos, uncovered with the 'Washington Post'

After vetoing the newspaper's ability to formally position itself in favor of Kamala Harris, and also after censoring a cartoon that pointed out how billionaires are prostrating themselves at Trump's feet – and where he appeared as one of those genuflexing – Jeff Bezos takes a new step to control the newspaper's editorial line with an iron fist. Washington Post. In a note sent to the editorial staff, he explains that the opinion pages "will be written every day in support and defense of two pillars: individual freedoms and free markets." The businessman says that the Internet already contains opinions for all tastes and, therefore, his medium should no longer guarantee a plurality of points of view that escape these two precepts. When Bezos bought the newspaper he assured that he would not interfere in its editorial line, but since the previous director, Martin Baron, left, he has done nothing but sink his hands up to his armpits. And in an alarmingly clumsy way: no one can escape the fact that, under the two commandments of its particular tablets of law, the newspaper will lean a little more to the right, a little more towards Trump.

Bezos paid $250 million for the historic newspaper. It was during Trump's first term in office and the newspaper's editorial hostility to the American president cost it federal contracts worth $10 billion. In other words, it actually paid $10.25 billion. Add to that the fact that his aeronautical company now depends on purchases made by the White House and that one of the products that contributes most to Amazon's business is cloud servers – which it also contracts massively from the government – and it makes perfect sense. Seeing this, all that remains is to hug Bezos and chant with him: "Long live the free market, far from any political interference!"
