I initially read that as 'undeserved'.

"Freedom is ethical," […] "It minimizes coercion."

Is this real? Or satire?

What first amendment ? this is why there used to be the "fairness doctrine" and why it mattered. Half a story is not journalism.

I hate to say we made this ass hat rich .
Married men alone should gang up and kill him just for what he has done to our wallets? As for his crazy rants !
Syphilis I tell you many a rich import men have Brain damage and he got it!

Jeff Bezos says he will only champion "personal freedom" from now on. This is old, right-wing theology: accumulating wealth (property) w/o restraint is the only liberty we need to protect. BS. Rich guy liberty. FDR offered his 4 freedoms: speech, worship, & freedom from want & freedom from fear.

Screenshots of an internal Hell Gate memo have been circulating this morning.

Anyway, if you believe that the people who should be steering the editorial direction of journalism are journalists themselves, here's a worker-owned news outlet that invites you to put your money with your mouth is. https://hellgatenyc.com/membership/

Love your work, but how can I log back into my Hell Gate account on the Bluesky browser? Seems impossible. And extremely frustrating

hellgatenyc.com•6 days ago

Not impossible! When you open the link, you can see this little box button with the arrow, click on that, and then you can open the article in your preferred browser, where you are most likely already logged in!

akmedia.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thanks for the quick response. Gotcha! I’ve been doing that but I’d love to be able to use the app browser too just so I don’t have to use multiple browsers/apps. Any chance of enabling UID/PW combos for accounts in the future?

Thanks again for some amazing reporting!

No current plans, as very nicely explained by our friends over at 404, but we're always trying to figure out how best to get our content in front of our subscriber!

Fuck Bezos!

nikk-gee.bsky.social•6 days ago

this is pathetic, but I can see all sorts of well-off rubes nodding in agreement to #jeffbezos ínsights.

fempat.bsky.social•6 days ago

well of course! He loves laissez-faire capitalism. No regulations, no guardrails, just do whatever the F you want and screw over as many people as you want. FO Bozos

Thank U for speaking out ✊

Small point but the US has never been about laissez faire capitalism

If it was there would be no lobbyists working on legislation intended to skew the playing field

Bezos obviously has Murdoch as a mentor

maryiscontrary.bsky.social•6 days ago

You hate to see this: 🥲😎

momus.bsky.social•6 days ago

tbf, he's specifically defending "free markets," which, as a monopolist, he's in an excellent position to have seen an alternative.

For a lazy $5m you can get access to the Kingdom of Trump.
A green card will get u a free MAGA cap and a bucket of fries.
And a solid handshake from King Kong, but beware, if u have a disability or a shade of color, it's probably shackles and deportation.
God save the King !
