But this post has struggled to maintain the trade success that he did far behind his biggest rival, the New York Times, during Trump’s first administration. Its audiences have shrunk and financial losses have been bailed.
“He is a very rational person. I think he was relieved to lose 20 million in a year. When it becomes 100 million in a year, I don’t know what his hunger is for him,” a former executive who worked with Bezos. “I don’t think it’s like a mission business as it would be for him [the Graham family] Or for the Silzbers [who own the New York Times].

The trade struggle took place when Bezos voted with Trump and started interfering in the opinion, and further encouraged the newspaper. At least a dozen experienced journalists have left to work for rivals.
Many people looked directly to their other businesses between the jokes of his newspaper and the rewards. Hours after Harris’s paper verification, Blue Original’s chief executive, David Lamp, met with Trump at a rally in Texas. Former Post Editor-Editor-in-Chief Robert Kagen criticized the meeting as “Quaid Pro Quvo”.
In the latest frequency, veteran journalist Ruth Marks resigned last week, claiming that chief executive Sir Willvis had covered a column that he wrote criticizing Bezos’ opinion section. Marx said about the decision, “The Washington Post in which I loved, which I loved, is not the Washington Post that I left.”
Yet for all the plays in the newsroom, public complaints have been lodged by senior journalists, and for the numerous media coverage of this post, there is little indication that Bezos has been abolished.
The former post executive says, “He is really a hard man. He is perfectly charming, but he did not find where he was gentle and gentle. In that sense, I do not know that he has changed.” “I remember that he talks about these people for the Amazon board, and he especially chooses people who do not give dirt to other people. He doesn’t want the people on the board like ‘Oh my God, we don’t air warehouses?’ I think she is the same. “
In January, more than 400 post journalists signed a letter requesting Bezos to meet them about their concerns. He did not answer.
“It has taken the organization in a particular direction and is determined to do so, which he has not fully explained,” says Baron, who adds that he has not tried to contact Bezos about his objections.
“Absolutely straight, I don’t think he cares about what I think.”
