jeff bezos says hiring a right wing UK tabloid exec with ties to rupert murdoch and a history of criminal activity to run the washington post will in no way harm its integrity so that's all settled then and nobody has to worry

I know he's super rich n all but that is not how things work. It's like he thinks he can bribe someone to make gravity disappear.

It is somewhat gratuitous to describe someone as a “tabloid exec” when their last job at a tabloid ended in 1995 when they moved to the Financial Times.

The Post will have as much integrity as Jeff Bezos has, which is to say, little to none

Guys, I’m starting to think billionaires don’t have our best interests at heart.

British tabloid journalism is like nothing else I've ever seen. It's been hyperaggressive, intrusive, and unethical for decades. We've seen what they did to Diana, Meghan and Harry, Kate and William. That's just the tip of the iceberg. It's like TMZ but on Anadrol steroids.

“If I really wanted to protect our journalistic standards and ethics I could fund the Post with the equivalent of a month’s fuel and maintenance on my megayacht, but it’s easier to pretend the paper is suffering from global financial problems.”

Keep digging up shit on the guy. That Bezos even wrote a note about this is more work than he wanted.

or you could read “ethics will not change” as “no way we are gonna keep this fucknut around”, right? i don’t believe that, obviously, but it’s just to say it’s so fucking mealy mouthed as to be meaningless.
