Jeff Bezos Proud To Finish Endorsements at Washington Publish, Optimistic About Trump

Jeff Bezos says stopping the Washington Publish, the newspaper he owns, from endorsing a presidential candidate final month was the proper transfer and he is pleased with his choice.

The Amazon founder and WaPo proprietor doubled down on the controversial choice — a drastic break from custom — Wednesday on the Dealbook Summit in New York Metropolis.

Throughout a dialog with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Bezos says he knew his choice to place the kibosh on election endorsements would draw tons of backlash … and it did. The transfer reportedly resulted in 200,000 readers canceling their subscriptions.

However Bezos says he is simply making an attempt to save lots of the paper in the long term … promising to proceed masking Biden, Trump and all future presidents “very aggressively.”
