WASHINGTON POST OWNER JEFF BEZOS WANTS MORE CONSERVATIVE OPINION WRITERS AT PAPER: REPORT
Billionaire Jeff Bezos congratulated President-elected Donald Trump for “a unprecedented political comeback and decisive victory” on Wednesday.
After widespread backlash from Washington Put up staffers over Bezos not permitting the paper to endorse Harris, the Amazon mogul defended his determination with an op-ed within the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” paper.
The billionaire Amazon founder, who purchased The Put up in 2013, insisted that newspaper endorsements “do nothing to tip the scales of an election” however as an alternative “create a notion of bias.” He doubled down on The Put up’s determination to finish its presidential endorsements by saying it is a “principled determination, and it’s the fitting one.”
“By itself, declining to endorse presidential candidates isn’t sufficient to maneuver us very far up the belief scale, nevertheless it’s a significant step in the fitting course. I want we had made the change sooner than we did, in a second farther from the election and the feelings round it. That was insufficient planning, and never some intentional technique,” Bezos conceded.
Bezos denied there was any “quid professional quo” that motivated the choice and insisted the assembly the boss of his firm Blue Origin had with former President Trump, which occurred the day of the announcement, was a regretful coincidence, flatly saying “There isn’t any connection between it and our determination on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion in any other case is fake.”
He went on to recommend that his paper and different members of the legacy media are out of contact with most People.
