[Rhiannon12866]

The Washington Post faces more turmoil as the embattled CEO and publisher Will Lewis steps down after a wave of layoffs at the newspaper. The Post’s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, declared in 2016, “Democracy dies in darkness,” but critics say he is now turning out the light. Former Executive Editor Marty Baron said, "Things have been made dramatically worse by the behavior of the owner.” - Aired on 02/08/2026.

4. Doesn't Bezos have enough money to not give a rat's ass about Trump?

Why should he need to suck up to TSF?

5. Most likely because

if he didn't, Trump would sick the IRS on him, and make his life pure hell with constant audits.......

If these zillionaires keep wanting to get their juicy tax breaks, they will vow to keep him in power/whitehouse with any sacrifice needed.

6. I didn't know this until yesterday, but evidently he has major US contracts that he is afraid of losing if he

ruffles the Pedo in Chief. What a loser.

7. That begs that question was/is "Democracy dies in darkness" to Bezos an adage or a goal?

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon
