Spent over 6 decades near DC and subscribed to the Post. I watched that once-great paper turn into a joke. "News" articles were written with an increasingly progressive spin and filled with factual errors. Articles on wokeness pushed news aside. Without Bezos, that paper would be dead.

It's floating around the 1,190-1,200 mark at las cuevas... subject, of course, to the typical tantrums and drama and the markets here...

A welcome development. He’s still a schmuck, though.

No matter what skinsuit-of-the-day will Jeff Bezos don, he forevermore will smell as lord of sweatshop.

". . .this radical lurch toward sanity marks a decided shift in editorial tone from the WaPo’s former self identity."

Nicely said. The question I don't see pundits addressing is whether Bezos is pursuing readers or White House denizens. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot.

Your notes were well turned out today, Joel. Thank you.

Right. And Thiel is a libertarian, too.

Bezos, et al, those "essential" businesswo/men, surely do epitomize liberty & free markets.

But all the little ogre has to do is writewash himself & the fair weather fans go wild.

Joel, Freedom, Liberty and throw in a little Pride of country, its like Common Sense, if you have personally lost it, there isn't a switch to turn it back on Mr. Bezos
