4. Bezos has taken a once vaunted newspaper and turned it into Fox lite trash.

Sucking up to Trump may help his space businesses, but it is killing the Post. As a former subscriber, I regularly get emails offering a renewal for 50 cents per week for a year. Even that is too much. The excellent opinion writers have been replaced by right-wing nobodies. And last time I looked months ago, the troglodyte George Will was still there. The man hasn't had an interesting idea in decades.

I wish Bezos would sell it to investors who want to see it publish news, facts, and truth again. For sure, the current leadership would not do the type of reporting on Watergate now or publish anything like the Pentagon Papers.
