Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : It's going to be hard to keep that image from sticking to the whole organization -- including the non-wimpy, non-corrupt reporting corps that keep digging up scoops on the administration.
40% : In personally announcing that he was dramatically re-orienting the editorial line, and in fact wouldn't even run dissenting views, Bezos added another sharp example to a narrative that represents a grave threat to the Post's image: The idea that its owner is messing around with the product in order to curry favor with his new pal Donald Trump, who has the power to withhold contracts from Amazon and other Bezos companies.
