    It’s sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

      If you still work at the Post after all this time it’s kind of on you. They’ve had years to find employment at outlets that aren’t a direct mouthpiece for Bezos.

        Can’t imagine many news publications are offering competitive job offers.

        Job hunting isn’t that great at the moment

          Well, it’s the price of not being dependent on billionaires.

          On the other hand, if the hundreds of thousands of subscribers go to a some publication (I’ve seen propublica recommended earlier in the comments, for instance) they will be able to pay a decent salary to a bunch of those journalists.
