Jeff Bezos is scared to have an open debate on economics
By banning perspectives critical of the status quo, Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is turning a major news outlet into a mouthpiece for market fundamentalists. If the ideas he champions are so defensible, why is he squeamish about debate?
Summary
Jeff Bezos has directed The Washington Post to only publish opinions supporting free market economics, prompting criticism that he is using his ownership to shield pro-capitalist ideology.
This shift comes after past editorial interference, including blocking an endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Critics argue Bezos’s claim that pro-market views are "underserved" is absurd, given their dominance in major newspapers.
The move highlights concerns over billionaire control of media and the suppression of alternative economic perspectives, particularly those advocating for greater government intervention and worker rights.

Excuse me but who gives a fuck what a leech of his proportion has to say about economics. One of the biggest wellfare queens in the country shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a microphone and here we are spreading his bullshit. Fuck bezos, let’s hope there is a Mario party future for him and his ilk
