Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has faced criticism since killing a Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris in the election against Donald Trump.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos"and his cronies" are enabling"the most acute threat to American democracy" — President-elect Donald Trump — a Washington Post columnist warned as she resigned.
Rubin sharply contrasted her new outlet with her prior employer and other media companies, a number of which she said have"scrambled to enlist Trump-friendly voices.""Corporate and billionaire owners of major media outlets have betrayed their audiences' loyalty and sabotaged journalism's sacred mission — defending, protecting and advancing democracy," Rubin said in a statement.
Bezos since the fall has been under fire for moves seen as currying favor with Trump. Those include killing a planned Post editorial page endorsement of Vice Presidentin the presidential election, a $1 million donation by Amazon to Trump's inauguration fund, and Bezos visiting Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla.
Trump during his first term in office pointedly criticized Bezos, the online retail giant Amazon and The Post. In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion, recently resigned from the newspaper after it refused to run a cartoon of hers depicting Bezos, Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Los Angeles Times Publisher Patrick Soon-Shiong supplicating before Trump as the president-elect towered over them.
