He’s finally waking up to the reality that the people don’t believe what they say or read. We turn to other avenues to get the real truth without any bias. Lots of podcasts are just curious and will ask questions to the people involved in the question.
it is well and truly overdue for media to be turned an its head and shaken up. Journalists cannot be biased, they must investigate and take responsibility and accountability for what they publish
While that might be true, let place most of the blame where it belongs. on the racism and the sexism amongst the voters of America!! The people who sit back and let things happen are worst!!!
Thats why you are poor, you don't understand the rich, especially the new rich, its all 0 and 1s on a computer not wealth, for them. Theyre a stock market and economic crash from being bought back down to earth.
Soon center and conservative readership will replace butthurt liberals . 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂. Bezos wants to be like Elon X neutral , not biased and free like our constitution mandates .
It literally doesn't even matter. The guy makes more per minute than most people do their entire life. The entire paper could close and go bankrupt over this and he will be fine.
Editorials are part of newspaper history. If it his belief not to appear biased, what didn’t he eliminate editorials when he bought the newspaper? Funny he chooses to stop it at this momentous occasion. Doesn’t reflect well on him. He is afraid of retaliation from his billionaire buddies…..and Trump. Coward.
Bezos is spot on 💯. It’s interesting to see people on the left upset that a privately owned company has decided in this instance to not be a mouthpiece for a particular party. The Left claim the Right are fascists and yet they can’t see the absurdity of their grievance that multiple newspapers are choosing to not endorsing a candidate. We are often guilty of subscribing to the idea that the ends justify the means and this grievance right here is a prime example of that.
Not upset just wont get anymore of my money, I am not the uneducated. Trick. And you can call it left or right, don't matter to me what you call it. But I can live without Amazon, how bout that.
People buy and read these news papers to get informed on the issues of their lives. When the PEOPLE you pay to give them informed opinions they expect an opinion from the people who are responsible for informing the public. It’s not a news paper anymore if it doesn’t publish opinions.
@@CarolWestbrook-zk1jc WRONG. People are busy (supposedly) and don’t have time to watch and listen to all the noise and the news papers were the one place you could count on being staffed by literate intelligent humans to do the informing for us.
Sadly you are missing the point. Bezos choosing to not have the Washington Post endorse a candidate which btw is a tradition, is missing the boat. You can’t be part of the framework to promote journalism but fail to call out on outright lies from a conman and the negative impact he’s having on society.
The reason most people believe the media is biased is because IT IS biased. In 2016, many journalists were open about the fact that this was too important to stand by and follow journalistic ethics to remain neutral. After that, whether you agreed or disagreed with the ideological stand the paper had taken, you acknowledged that it did in fact represent a bias.
All Bezos and the editorial board had to do was issue a statement that their readership should read the excellent journalism of the paper and form their own opinion of the candidates
The irony here is that the effort made towards impartiality is met with left-leaning journalists who are disgruntled because they are not able to make their bias as explicit to the public as they would like... How is that not the obvious take-away?
First, the bulk of voters already know who they are going to vote for. It's 2024, and there are so many outlets to find sources. It's Jeff Bezos, and people just want to criticize him. There are so many things to criticize him on, not this.
So, how long has Bezos owned the paper? Why make this change RIGHT now? I am so happy to hear the individuals at the paper are NOT willing to stand by without voicing their own opinion by walking out and the 200,000 saying that they disagreed as well. The owner is obviously a Trump supporter, not wanting to stand against Trump for FEAR of Trump's backlash. You expect individuals to stand by as Trump tears apart this nation, but those with educated minds you don't expect to allow trump 1 step forward as he tramples on our Constitution, our laws, our dignity. Are we supposed to excuse Trump's attempt to take over 4 years ago as if it never happened, as if a police officer did not lose his life protecting the building on our behalf? As the father of a police officer here in California, I commend those officers who risked their lives protecting our rights on that fateful day, may their acts NEVER be forgotten and I hope there is a plack at the Capital that speaks of their heroics on that day. May Trump face the consequences of his part on that day.
She's clueless. Opinion pages should be for citizens, not writers employed by the corporation. Their day is over - accept it. No one takes the Post seriously anymore anyway.
Billionaire needs MORE money. Greed is what it is. We the people made him rich and this is what he does. Throws us to the wolves. The OTHER Billionaires. They are showing us what they think of us! Wake up!
The greatest democracy is equal opportunity, Washington Post should criticise GOP Republicans half of the time and content, then criticise Democrats the remaining half of the time & content. Then I believe in democracy
Even the fact checkers are wrong more than they are right. They base things largely on their own opinions, or the opinions of those they agree with, and not on absolute truth.
WaPo obviously choosing Trump, whose shortcomings are well known - WaPo was always something I thought could be relied upon for objectivity - as an American veteran, I am deeply disappointed
WaPo has endorsed Presidential candidates since the 1960s except for one election. Know the history of the newspaper in question - and did you miss the part about what an "Opinion" article, including an endorsement, actually means? You might want to listen to this commentary a few more times.
I think people shouldn’t freak out. On the contrary, you should be excited to put something else forward that actually is journalistic integrity, and opinion driven.
Media weighing in on campaigns used to have some clout, because the news was not fictionalized and people had the facts that were out and may have been interesting and made good points. Now news reports are just editorials, and facts are minimally sprinkled in with outright lies.
I'm about to cancel my WAPO subscription. Bezos is too cowardly to stand up to a bully. Meanwhile, everyday Americans without his power or resources are proudly standing up.
Just cancelled Amazon Prime and I will be using Amazon as a catalog of items and will be buying directly from the retailers, both local and the web. Bye Bezos!
