Shameless.
Jeff Bezos, the self-proclaimed āhands-offā owner of the Washington Post, emailed staffers on Wednesday morning about a change he is applying to the paperās opinion section that appears to align the newspaper more closely with the political right.
āIām writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,ā Bezos said.
āWeāll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the readerās doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.ā
