Apparently WP owner Bezos has done a "Catch and Kill' on the Washington Post: he has taken a liberal newspaper and turned it over to Murdoch's people to ruin. Much like the National Enquirer bought and buried Trump's sordid life.

I assume bringing in the folks from Jolly Old was meant to fly below the radar. This is what Comcast and John Malone were attempting to do with CNN except it backfired after Trump's Town Hall. The right wingers just can't stand having anyone standing up to them, presenting a different view. All would be happier with Trump and Vlad. And I guess both WP and NYT have been sidling over to the Right in anticipation of Trump's win in the Fall.

"Like"

The WP and NYT are fools if they think going MAGA will get more subscribers. 1) MAGA crowd are not great readers of anything, and 2) for Trump there is no such thing as enough sucking up to him. Bezos and Sulzburgers are not fools.

Therefore, I think they simply want an extreme right-wing government which will be subject to their will. Well, the titans of Geman industry and banking thought they could control Hitler, too.

One thing. I don't believe either Bezos or Sulzbergers imagine themselves dealing with Trump, rather the people who control Trump....the NAR writ large.
