Democracy Dies at "The Washington Post"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : In a memo to Post staffers on Wednesday morning, Bezos decreed that the paper's opinion section would be reworked to exclusively serve as the mouthpiece for the sort of unrestricted monopoly capitalism that has allowed sons of privilege like Bezos, and Musk, and Trump to accumulate unimaginable wealth and power based on the "special privilege" that Theodore Roosevelt once warned could give "one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity" at the expense of society -- and might see this economic elite "twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will." In an effort to twist that machinery as only a media baron can, Bezos has initiated the sort of sweeping "change" -- or should we say "abandonment of principles" -- that Rupert Murdoch implemented when he bought the New York Post from its liberal publisher, Dorothy Schiff in 1976.
46% : " Most Americans would surely agree that support for personal liberties is commendable, and defenders of the Post can point to a long record of editorial-board enthusiasm for constitutional rights and prerogatives in the face of governmental overreach -- both when the newspaper tangled with Richard Nixon during the Watergate era, and more recently in its steady objection to the excess of Trump and Musk.
36% : Bezos knows that if voters are too aware of rampant inequality and what historian Timothy Snyder refers to as "the bait-and-switch" fraud of shadow president Musk's Robin-Hood-in-reverse (take from the poor, give to the rich) restructuring of federal priorities, they might be inclined to reject the path of plutocracy.
