WaPo Opinion Editor Resigns After Bezos Orders Focus on Defending 'Free Markets' and Libertarianism
"Four months after Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos pulled an endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race, with editors saying they wanted voters to "make up their own minds" about elections, the billionaire media and tech mogul announced Wednesday that the paper's opinion page would begin promoting a specific worldview—one that advocates for "personal liberties and free markets."
The announcement of the opinion page's new official angle was accompanied by the news, shared in a message from Bezos to the Post staff, that opinion editor David Shipley was resigning.
After weeks of discussions between Bezos, Shipley, and Post chief executive Will Lewis, the paper's owner told Shipley that "if the answer wasn't 'hell yes,' then it had to be 'no,'" Bezos wrote in his note to staffers.
The newspaper's opinion section has published views that represent both the political right and left under Shipley's leadership, though the editor refused to publish a cartoon that showed Bezos bowing to President Donald Trump last month—a move that led cartoonist Ann Telnaes to resign."
