Jeff Bezos has directed The Washington Post to only publish opinions supporting free market economics, prompting criticism that he is using his ownership to shield pro-capitalist ideology.

The move highlights concerns over billionaire control of media and the suppression of alternative economic perspectives, particularly those advocating for greater government intervention and worker rights.
