The @claremalone.bsky.social deep dive on The Washington Post is out: “Is Jeff Bezos Selling Out the Washington Post?” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Replies
Not often I find a New Yorker piece long-winded drivel, but this one qualifies. 5,017 pages to report Jeff Bezos had a mid-life crisis, discovered a raging id, plus all his interests lusted after less regulation, lower taxes, *and* he could get laid by more women than Mackenzie Scott. OK. Got it.

You flip flop like an open-mouthed wet fish when you don’t hold moral positions so much as you hold financially expedient ones. I guess being far removed from the halls of power has its little mercies.

Of course he is. Look at how he treats his employees. He’s scum.

"A journalist who knows Bezos said, 'He’s on an intellectual journey. Wherever he lands, he’s thinking. Whatever it is, it’s a mind at work.'" That's a polite way to say he doesn't know what he's doing.

Journalism has gone from: “Afflict the comfortable & comfort the afflicted” —> Comfort the comfortable & Affront the afflicted

New Yorker, where you been? He sold out his family, his country all for size 44d and a yacht built in Rotterdam.
