So, WAPO will move even more to the right. Way to innovate, Bezos.

From ‘Tiger Beat on the Potomac’ fame… and Bezos is retaining the admired and much sought after services of Fred Hiatt. All this in the name of expanding the digital brand…No. Thank. You.

Bozo is off and running and the media is firmly in the hands of the oligarchy.

Now the Post will become both unbearably trivial and intolerably biased. On the upside, I can probably let my digital subscription lapse.

“She’ll be replaced by Frederick J. Ryan, the founding CEO of Politico and a former Reagan administration official.” (emphasis added)
A one sentence obituary for the allegedly “liberal” Washington Post.

Me, too. I only found Wonkblog, under Ezra Klein, a consistently good read.

Well, in case anybody wondered which side Bezos is on–it’s the side of the haves. And why does he REALLY want an air force of drone delivery vehicles?? What is it that he really wants to deliver, the robot agents of the final solution? We know the Overlords such as Bezos want to get rid of the great unwashed masses and replace them with robot workers who never complain or riot. The problem is, how to get rid of the great unwashed masses cleanly and efficiently–as we have seen in Ferguson, they can be difficult to control once they get organized.

They “went” a long time ago in my estimation. Regardless, even MSNBC cowers from reporting on companies like BP while featuring their commericals prominently. It’s all corporate media.

Just in case you thought that being head of a multibillion-dollar company actually made you smart in general.

Bezos is a so called Libertarian. In many ways, he is further to the right of Murdoch.
The WaPo will be heading farther to the right than Murdoch’s WSJ…
The entitled class owns the US corporate media thanks to no anti-trust enforcement and taking over the FCC. The people are being brain washed into voting against their own best interest and brain washed into believing the US is #1 and a great place to live. Those that travel outside the US come back with their head spinning on how much they’ve been lied to our media and our Republican “friends”. The US is a plutocracy - not a Democracy.
