When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.

Jeff Bezos has turned the Washington Post from the newspaper that brought down Nixon by cracking the Watergate scandal to the present day promotion of Melania’s scam documentary. What sad times we live in.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

OpenAI's CFO suggested that the government could be a "backstop" if they can’t pay their bills.
YOUR tax dollars as their "backstop."
Meanwhile, OpenAI pays its employees an average of $1.5 MILLION dollars a year in stock compensation.
Wow.
That's just wrong.

It's not about what rules. It's about who HAS to follow them or be punished by death. And people who've bought in on the ideology believe they'll never be on the wrong side of that equation.
