This feels like a serious fuck up for the western media. They handwave the existence of their billionaire owners by saying that they don’t determine what gets printed , even though that’s an obvious lie , but now they’re on record with the billionaire owner putting his foot down for Trump.
Liberals will say it’s no biggie. Their nonsense argument will be that liberal billionaires should start buying newspapers.
I actually support the libs that unsub from wapo, not because i care about them not endorsing kamala but because this will hurt the journalists in wapo that have been posting genocide denial stories in the paper for months
imagine paying for news.
next imagine paying for news baked with pro-capitalist propaganda.
now imagine cancelling that subscription because the capitalist propaganda wouldn’t praise the blue capitalist.
so they’re ok with genocide denial and getting all their info straight from the CIA but not ok with them not endorsing Harris?
I didn’t put this in the dunk tank because I assume Bezos doesn’t care at all. He uses the paper to advertise Prime etc. His bigger toy cost him twice as much - his $500m yacht. Also - he’s clearly betting on a Trump win and he’ll recoup any tiny WaPo losses via juicy federal contracts that come his way.
