What about the Post is related to this, specifically?

10s of millions of people in US think that Wash Post is colluding with coup orchestrators, trying to overthrow constitutionally elected US president.

With the above sentiment, giving Wash Post owner a 10 bln dollar Gov contract for work with military -- would have be borderline absurd. It is difficult to separate these types of discussion from political bias of commenters, but you would have to create your own views (if you do not have them already)

For pro-president, anti-Coup views on the topic, search for:

To find some examples of Wash Post collusion with the coup crowd, just use:

- "Washington Post forced to correct"

- "Washington Post fabricated" in non-Google non-Yahoo search engines.

- "Washington post Covington no apology"

- "Washington post sandbagged"

It's a lot more absurd to make government contract decisions based on newspaper coverage the president doesn't like.

You should look up the definition of a coup before making statements like that.

Could not modify to add to bullet points above, but Washington Posts' obituary notice to ISIS head Al-Baghdadi, seems to prove the point...

Washington Post referred to the now dead head of the terrorist organization as: 'austere religions scholar'.

I guess, for Washington Post, Hitler was a dog loving vegan and a self-taught artist.

(they have changed the article by now).

Giving Pentagon business contracts to owner of this 'esteemed news publication', hosting these 'journalists' would, definitely would be absurd.

The White House basically ordered this contract to not go to Amazon because Trump doesn't like how the Washington Post covers him.

>> And he considers Post political stance against him a directive from Bezos himself.

Which, to be fair, it very likely is. I just can't see Jeff _not_ exercising any editorial control. Post also doesn't shit on Amazon ever since he bought it, even when it's deserved.
