Jeff Bezos Faces Criticism Over Washington Post Changes as Trump Praises 'Fairer' Coverage

Bezos's editorial overhaul, focus on 'personal liberties and free markets,' and closer ties with Trump fuel resignations and debates on media independence.

Jeff Bezos has reshaped The Washington Post's opinion section to prioritize 'personal liberties and free markets,' prohibiting editorials opposing these principles.
President Trump praised Bezos for making the Post's coverage 'more fair,' revealing private discussions and a growing rapport between the two during Trump's second term.
Bezos reportedly expressed frustration over the Post's newsroom, calling staff 'crazy' and 'out of control,' and lamented financial losses from owning the paper.
The changes have led to internal backlash, with high-profile resignations and criticism from journalists concerned about editorial independence.
Observers highlight concerns over billionaire influence in media, with critics questioning whether Bezos's decisions are driven by personal or business interests.
