Bezos never intended to leave the paper alone. The fact that Wapo abandoned Snowden is evidence of that. Bezos is the biggest liar. Just read any of his company wide emails and you'll see how bad of a liar he is.
I ain't even mad. Life is about finding out exactly how much you can get away with.
You don't have to destroy everyone around you to have a good time ;)
Might makes right!
Bezos' plan was always to have a mouthpiece to spout propaganda. Why else invest in a dying medium?
Same with Carlos Slim and the NYT. This isn't rocket surgery.
Would the same argument apply to Rupert Murdoch and Fox News?
Can you link to some specific examples that to you demonstrate that Bezos is a liar?
For example, when he pretended that he didn't know about the working conditions of the warehouses. He knows exactly what's going on with every detail of the company. He personally oversaw the design of the entire Amazon system, including the warehouse. His letter is absurd on its face.
