Jeff Bezos, the billionaire titan behind Amazon, is steering his media jewel—the Washington Post—into uncharted waters, nudging its opinion pages toward a more conservative, populist tilt. Once a bastion of liberal critique, the Post is now amplifying voices that echo the views of blue-collar Americans and Donald Trump’s base, a shift that’s stirring fierce debate online. With Bezos cozying up to Trump—evident in his $1 million inauguration donation and front-row seat at the swearing-in—this pivot has readers, staff, and observers questioning whether the paper’s storied independence is buckling under its owner’s influence. This isn’t just a newsroom tweak; it’s a seismic recalibration with stakes for journalism’s soul and America’s trust.
