Bezos gets red pilled:
The billionaire Amazon founder, who bought the Washington Post in 2013, posted a note on social media saying he was looking for a new opinion editor who would emphasize advocacy for “personal liberties and free markets.”
“I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter,” Bezos wrote on X.
“I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t ‘hell yes,’ then it had to be ‘no’.”
Bezos wrote that “after careful consideration, David decided to step away.”
“This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision,” the e-commerce mogul wrote, adding: “We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.”
Bezos wrote that he was “confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America.”
