Bezos Guts The Washington Post – The New York Times
Editor’s Note: I no longer subscribe to Bezos’ chopped down cherry tree. I deleted all newsletters from my sources. I have a free email account there still, but I pay them for nothing. He has more money than God, and he fires 1/3 of his reporters, journalists, staff, and he gets more “federal support” from Trump. It is clearly “Quid pro quo” — a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something. No longer the “Enemy,” they fade from view as a National Newspaper, and surrender as a leader in truth or darkness. –DrWeb
