Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos says opinion pages will defend free market and ‘personal liberties’

Associated Press  

The billionaire owner of The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, narrowed the topics covered by its opinion section Wednesday to defending personal liberties and the free market, a pivot away from the traditional broad focus and prompting the news outlet’s opinion editor to resign. Bezos, who also owns Amazon, said on X that “viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” The move was received by some as an indication that Bezos is making decisions for the Post with an eye toward avoiding retaliation by President Donald Trump. Now, he said, “the internet does that job.” “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” Bezos wrote in his post, adding that the new topics “are right for America. The pivot echoes the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page banner: “free markets, free people.” Bezos’ move Wednesday was the latest in a series of Bezos’ changes to the legacy news outlet, an award-winning organization that broke the Watergate scandal and whose motto is, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Weeks before the November election, Bezos announced that the Post would not endorse a presidential candidate, sparking a wave of resignations and thousands of subscription cancellations.
