    I’m lazy and don’t care all that much about Beezer facts but how much of his money is derived from the newspaper, versus everything ele? Because realistically unless that is a major source of it, I can’t see this doing much of anything. There’s A, plus AWS, which make him bank. Those two things need to be what people call up and cancel if they’re gonna call up and cancel anything.

    What do you call this, just token liberalism or something?

    Only people this is going to effect is the staffers at the magazine newspaper

      He actually runs WaPo at a loss. He subsidizes the newspaper to print propaganda. Libs are just mad that it is not the propaganda they want.

      I think Bezos believes, with some reason, that it would hurt his name among some ghoul circles to be associated with an endorsement of Kamala over Trump (and the reverse is also true). It has basically nothing to do with the amount of money the paper makes (as OP demonstrates, this was actually bad for WP making money) and everything to do with Bezos's reputation.
