Sure like X is Musk’s plaything..Trump just expects everybody to kiss his ring & his feet and say nothing but nice things to him while he just relishes in it but tell the emperor he has no clothes he’ll probably execute you
Someone must have a very small pencil thin pe***. He has a willie on his companies logo, his rocketship looks like a long knob & now his newspaper lives by a pillar. Or he was telling us early on that he was going to screw us all. Even with an implant he was born with a tiny willie
Well, it seems to me you need readers to make a paper solvent. And readers will be turning away. I couldn’t care less what Bezos wants. I’ll pick my unbiased news from elsewhere. Not his libertarian nonsense.
If someone could superimpose a slit on top his bald head and having him holding deflated balloons on his chest. ..you may have the guy that owns Amazon.
He’s so disgusting! He has so much wealth - he could be doing something good for our country vs becoming a maga cult member. McKenzie has to be thrilled to not be associated with him . She’s so generous and kind 💙
Wapo is also a loss leader for Bezos (similar to twitter as a means to an end for Musk)...he uses the paper to appease the administration so that he can continue finding new and improved ways to make money he'll never spend / share in three lifetimes.
Hats off to everyone who said this wound happen when he bought it. He played nice until he was offered a piece of the coup, I guess. Surprise surprise.
Just cancelled my account and my credit card. The man who helped me asked why.....I said Jeff Bezos is a prick and we both shared a good laugh! Felt so good to dump him after 30 years.
After reading the NYT, WAPO, and CNN just this morning here in Europe, it’s obvious why most people are oblivious to the existential crisis our nation is facing since our media is increasingly unable or unwilling to blast the unvarnished truth. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/trump-cabinet-elon-musk
Yup. 😤 him! I deleted all my in in the app, deleted my app, and paid off my Amazon credit card. I canceled my trips and Airbnb app and rented through Vrbo
Why don't news outlets set up shell companies to publish Substack articles under general bylines, then correspondents can avoid personal retribution and be more honest in their reporting. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0306422016670345
There is a plan for an “economic blackout” this Friday, February 28…please try participating! Don’t buy anything! Don’t spend money! If you MUST, do it the day before or wait till Saturday…help make it be big enough so that the legacy media won’t be able to ignore it.
I finally canceled the Prime account I’ve had for about 25 years today. It expires on March 14. It may not be much but it’s something tangible I can do. Joined Costco, too.
I found the sellers i used to buy from and now buy form them independently, without paying the Bezos tax. It helps smaller businesses and is a finger to Bezos.
We don't need billionaires who coerce us with a little convenience and then destroy our .gov.
You can do it! It’s an adjustment to that instant gratification aspect but you’ll discover alternatives over time that are pretty cool. I discovered some local electronics shops I never would have found otherwise. Old oscilloscopes filling an entire aisle. It was amazing!
Everyone needs to just quit and reform a new paper called something else. He isn't going to sell. If he was going to, it would have been before Trump took office. We need to organize better, but I just don't see the post being helpful. At best it will both sides things and pretend neutrality.
We will finally unsubscribe after 45 years. Screw you Bezos. And screw anybody who wants to appease T-rump or mess with our Democracy (which is dying in darkness now Jeff).
The Washington Post, the newspaper I grew up reading, should close their doors. Pulling opinions and articles for political reasons makes you only worthy of wrapping fish!
He likes his employees to live in fear. Bezos should change the name Washington Post to “Bezos’ bu!! S#it.” It would more accurately describe the content of the publication.
We need an a re imagining of schoolhouse Rock. One about a free press ... one about that pocket constitution that Lauren Boebart is always looking for in guys pants. One about a free judiciary. One about unlimited money in politics.
I don’t subscribe and sorry stopped reading it. Truly what’s the purpose (?). It lost its credibility a while back, even with such famed journalists. Hopefully those with any integrity will find another home - I am sorry.
The Washington Post used to be one of the world's great newspaper.s. Under Jeff Bezos stewardship, it's becoming as worthless as Fox News for truthful reporting and analysis!
I cancelled my digital subscription today. Tomorrow I'm cancelling Amazon Prime.
Much to my shame I bought from Amazon, admittingly a very small purchase £10, but for my penance I have promised myself never again to buy from them again, Bezos to me is bad news.
I'd like to understand his motivation. We've made him one of the richest men in the world and that still isn't enough? Now, he wants to opress us, make us more slaves than we already are?
No and yes. The uber wealthy never have enough...money, power, etc. Think southern plantation owners; they wanted free labor so that they could put more $ into their pockets.
Can they "tank" the way a sports team does in order be so unprofitable as to get him to sell the paper to.. oh I don't know, Marc Cuban or George Soros?
Why is the Washington Post still in business? Someone must be buying ad space other than Bezos for a tax write off or paying for a subscription. Who are these people?
Two things that have contributed to this situation: The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Michael Powell as FCC Chairman. Media ownership by conglomerates and billionaires stifles free speech. Break up the media giants.
WE are THE KINGS!
We can use all of our powers to effect change..

It's his insurance card over Trump attacking him or his businesses. He won't poke the bear, but if he wants, he can unleash hell in his opinion column against Trump. WaPo is pure billionair propaganda and leverage now, nothing more.
Thank you! As much as I'm trying to resist, giving up Netflix would be quite a sacrifice (it does help keep my sanity during these crazy, awful times). 💙
I did this 6 weeks ago, everything and anything Amazon is gone. I cancelled wapo in Nov. I’m taking a serious look at everything I subscribe too and also seriously questioning anything I buy. #canadafirst #saygoodbyetoamazon
I’m going to the UPS Store tomorrow to inquire about their package receiving services. We have tons of package thefts in Baltimore so I’ve relied on an Amazon Locker. I’m now ready to dump Prime. Already cancelled WaPo. It’s entirely possible to sink the oligarchs by voting with our dollars. ✊

That's popular lately.
Gave them all up in October.
Yes, it’s inconvenient and sometimes you can’t avoid it.
But, if you start with one item. This week. Then another next week, it will become easier and easier.
For this and our future generations, please at least try.
I remember a leading article about fishing with big magnets. If that wasn’t an Amazon shill there is no such thing.
I hope Nazi Bezos sells the place before killing it completely, but he’s probably one of the biggest hoarders of our time, so he’ll be reluctant
He has two focuses in life: 1) his biceps 2) boobs
#cancelAmazonPrime!!
His only regret is he didn’t think to buy the president like Elon.
🎵Those were the days🎶
Lies, Lies, Lies
In a dictatorship, the billionairesa are a threat; therefore, they will be arrested/killed if they don't follow the dictator.
All in the name of one sorry example of a human being.
"My own personal newspaper will not be covering the upcoming anti-billionaire messaging from the Democratic Party"

Can’t wait to see the Post’s new Pepe the Frog comics.
If you use demented liar in a sentence, I’ll eat a cookie. 🍪🥰
@washingtonpost.com
Bezos invested $700M in Rivian Motors... think about THAT when you consider your next EV purchase!
Cancelled.
LA Times, I’m lookin’ at you next.

F*ck you Bezos!
More like an editorial seraglio.
Not ready to cancel Prime just yet but it’s not off the table.
Marty Baron is available as are plenty of POC TV hosts as MSM has embraced segregation.
Show me ethics, show me integrity & I’ll pay for that.

I cancelled all subscriptions on Amazon.
I joined Costco.
We can make it painful for these billionaires.
They’re rich because we are addicted to the convenience.
Find alternatives and say fuck you to the lackeys!
I cancelled my decades old Audible account.
I cancelled Prime. Netflix or Tubi instead.
I have yet to buy a Costco membership, no need to buy bulk. I might, just to say Thank You for standing up for DEI.
Netflix donated to Kamala and more than half of their staff are women. They have DEI initiatives.
