Bezos Orders more conservative writers at WaPo

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has reportedly given the newspaper a mandate to add more conservative voices to its opinion section " even as he remains silent over the broadsheet's decision not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Bezos " the world's second richest person with a fortune that Bloomberg Billionaires Index valued at $211 billion as of Monday " is keen on gaining a more ideologically diverse readership by expanding his newspaper's reach among right-leaning audiences, according to a report in The New York Times.

Bezos is smart. He knows the WaPo is a losing business - and while a pull back to the center may be good for its credibility, I highly doubt you will get conservatives subscribers back regardless. So, I think the most logical conclusion is that he took out a huge insurance policy and assumed the progressives will burn it down after Kamala loses and they blame the WaPo rather than their horrible candidate or lack of policies people actually want.

When so many get their "news" from any nutbag that figures out how to use a platform with an agenda, I agree it creates a distrust especially when it doesn't fit your narrative. Which is why the right is so bat s--t crazy about the media.
