The Opinion pages of the Washington Post or any newspaper are a space for publishing opinions. For Jeff Bezos, this is conveniently a bridge too far, not in his best interest, if Donald Trump happens to win the election. Bezos appears to not want to incur Trump’s wrath by endorsing Kamala Harris, which the paper was preparing to do.
This is one more thing, in light of everything else of concern in this election, that has people wondering if Donald Trump is an actual, legitimate threat to our democracy, to freedom of speech, to the envisioned republic as Franklin and the rest once spoke of and brought to life.
Bezos, according to Bezos, would probably explain his move in practical terms, if he was available for comment. But many others are of the mind that this is nothing more than cowardice, and a selfish economic decision.
People are canceling the paper, but maybe they should cancel their Prime subscription instead. I bet Bezos did the math and figured that would be a harder thing for people to give up– we can’t part with the free shipping.
