Trump Commends Jeff Bezos for Shifting Direction of The Washington Post

President Trump praises Bezos for recent changes at the Post, including a pivot toward free markets and personal liberties, despite backlash and controversy.

  • President Trump, in a Sunday interview, praised Jeff Bezos for what he described as a 'real job' in reshaping The Washington Post's approach under his ownership.
  • Bezos has overseen significant changes at the Post, including ending the paper's tradition of endorsing presidential candidates and refocusing its opinion section on free markets and personal liberties.
  • These moves have drawn criticism, with some accusing Bezos of trying to align the paper with Trump's administration to protect his business interests, though Bezos denies such intentions.
  • The changes have led to canceled subscriptions, staff resignations, and backlash, reflecting tensions over the new editorial direction.
  • Trump acknowledged that while he still faces hostility from much of the media, he views Bezos's recent efforts as a notable shift compared to the Post's previous stance during his first term.
