LOL, so billionaire owners are fine as long as it is the "right" kind of billionaire that agrees with you. At least Bezos actually made his own money. [/quote]

I have nothing against billionaire owners; I do have something against owners who obstruct a free press, as well as owners of news organizations who contribute to presidential inaugurations.[/quote]

No, you don't. Kamala Harris has been heavily bankrolled by Laurene Powell Jobs and the Atlantic has been used to try to stifle "free press" on Substack and undermine narratives in the press that don't align with her political ideology.  David Geffen hugely bankrolled Obama. Stop trying to act principled about this. [/quote]

The Washington Post is Bezo’s newspaper and if he decides tomorrow to run it like Oprah’s magazine and put himself on the cover of every issue he can.

Before Bezo, the Post was owned by a different rich person who decided to use it as a partisan weapon against the other team.

The difference is that the cartoonist (and the poster above) don’t seem to be able to grasp that.  Various rich people and businesses have donated to every inauguration.  Only if it is a political opponent is it suddenly newsworthy and oh so concerning.
