> Jeff Bezos has already reaped many multiples of his investment in the Washington Post.

Has he though? The Washington Post has actually been a leader in primary reporting in Amazon's union busting activities [1]. He may have pressured them to not endorse Kamala Harris, but he likely would have better standing with Trump had he had never bought the Post in the first place.

For all the shit that mainstream media gets, much of which is deserved, alternative media is order of magnitudes worse with regards to manipulating public discourse.

Controlled opposition is great.

I don't think the Washington Post really would of made a difference in terms of the election, but I have no faith in them having any editorial independence.

My boss also lets me criticize parts of the business, but he's still my boss

Can you tell me what exactly about the Washington Post differs from any other center left American news source and how those differences benefits Bezos?
