He didn't buy the WaPo to control the narrative on the Commanders,

Do you for one minute think Bezos regrets this decision? Very unlikely.

What does he care about sports?

LOL. Apparently not much when the paper is bleeding cash due to subscriber cancellations following the paper's turn to the right during the last election.

Did your position on this come from The Twotter? It has to given how absolutely absurd it is.

Apparently he does. And Amazon dumped $75m. Not him personally.

WaPo is owned by Bezos' personal trust, not via Amazon

In the memo, Murray wrote that the Post's "organic search has fallen by nearly half in the last three years," and that its "daily story output has substantially fallen in the last five years."

Former executive editor Martin Baron wrote in a LinkedIn post that "there were acute business problems that had to be addressed" during "a period of head-spinning change in media consumption." Baron added that the "Post's challenges, however, were made infinitely worse by ill-conceived decisions that came from the very top."


Some brands are seeing revenue fall off due to declines in social media and search traffic. The rise of AI is also squeezing the industry as more readers gather information from chatbots rather than visiting web pages.

I. E., subscribers and clicks have cratered.....

Looking forward, “these layoffs signal that Jeff wants to move the Post back to sustainability”, Allbritton added. “I’m hopeful that once the Post regains its financial footing that Jeff will continue as a responsible owner of one of the most important brands in media.”

Some Post veterans feel differently, and have called for Bezos to sell the newspaper. The union representing most Post employees said on Wednesday: “If Jeff Bezos is no longer willing to invest in the mission that has defined this paper for generations, and serve the millions who depend on Post journalism, then the Post deserves a steward that will.”

But Baron highlighted a big question surrounding any potential sale: “To whom?”

The fact that the WaPo is poorly managed and losing money is not in contention. What is in contention is that Jeff Bezos gives a shit about $100 million in the grand scheme of things I can assure you he doesn’t.

And yet what is occuring shows exactly that he does. If he didn't, he wouldn't fire one third of the staff. He would just hire the ideologues he wanted and toss the others out as he did that. He's obviously unwilling to fund the losses anymore.

And that would be 'paper losses' for that day as opposed to losses of actual cash.

This is a guy who could wake up tomorrow morning and decide he wants to buy the Bears, the Cubs, the Blackhawks, and the Bulls. And any obstacle to purchasing all four would not be money
