Bezos is a limousine liberal, a business owner/manager made lazy-liberal by high Silicon Valley profit margins that insulate him from the need to manage expenses carefully (which tends to incline business owner to be conservative).
The WashPost is in an industry whose marketplace has been rocked by New Media that don't have expenses like paper, ink, printing, and distribution. If newspapers aren't dying, slowly, outright, they definitely are having to reinvent themselves while slashing costs. And have reporters and other staff who refuse to recognize that and are trained by their unions to view owners as exploiters.
So Bezos is stuck between the Scylla of a shrinking money-losing business and the Charybdis of staff who see belt-tightening moves as exploitation. IOW, for Bezos the WashPost is
lose-lose and the reporters and other union idiots are unwittingly killing their own jobs. And as a cherry on top, the reporters are alienating subscribers and potential subscribers with their partisan stupidity.
Which suits me just fine.
