Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos has announced a significant shift in The Washington Post’s opinion section, but critics say it’s just another example of his hypocrisy. The move to prioritize “personal liberties” and “free markets” is seen as a nod to his own right-wing views, which have been repeatedly called into question by the Post’s previous actions. Bezos has a history of using his influence to promote conservative causes and support Donald Trump, making this decision a stark contrast to the Post’s traditional commitment to objective journalism.
