Not to the same scale of Amazon, but UPMC (Pittsburgh’s regional medical giant) is a non profit who made $400 million profit a few years ago to some outrage. Their CEO is a pretty high flying guy for being a non profit!

Suspiciously they made near zero profit the next year.

non profit doesn't mean the executive level goes without, charities are infamous in this regard. that colleges can hide their endowments behind similar is just more proof we have a tax system designed to benefit the few and not the many

I have no issue with local papers going non profit, however the idea they can do it any not cross into the political side is going to be a stretch. either from the weight given to certain stories, selection of letters to editors, down to opinion pieces, there are many ways to skirt the rules
