Jeff Bezos Overhauls Washington Post Editorial Pages, Opinion Editor Exits
“Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of The Washington Post, revealed on Wednesday that the newspaper’s editorial pages are to be overhauled to focus on “personal liberties and free markets” in a seismic shift for one of America’s most prestigious publications.
In a message to staff, which the Amazon tycoon shared on X, Bezos confirmed that The Post’s opinion editor, David Shipley, is leaving the newspaper.”
“The move comes as Bezos and the leaders of the nation’s biggest technology companies cozy up to President Donald Trump. Last year, The Post ended its tradition of endorsing presidential nominees, which led to a hemorrhaging of subscribers.
The decision on editorial pages prompted instant backlash from Post staffers, but fellow billionaire and Trump aide Elon Musk said, “Bravo, Jeff Bezos!”
In his note, Bezos wrote, “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
