Summary

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.

This shift comes after past editorial interference, including blocking an endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Critics argue Bezos’s claim that pro-market views are “underserved” is absurd, given their dominance in major newspapers.

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.
