What happens when one of the world’s richest men decides to start buying the media?
It means they start doing exactly what he tells them.
Here’s how Jeff Bezos took over some of America’s biggest papers – just to make himself look better.
When Amazon multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the ultra-liberal Washington Post back in 2013, it was already obvious that the purchase was all about his ego…
Here’s just a few quotes from the most brown-nosing piece I’ve read this year:
“Some of his private investments, such as his deal for The Post, are marked even more by a fascination with pursuing lofty goals requiring extremes of perseverance”
“Bezos can often come across as gregarious and intensely focused”
Despite how embarrassingly obvious their praise for Bezos was, the Washington Post claimed he wouldn’t have any kind of control over what they wrote…
Another obvious lie.
8 years on, it’s clear just what Bezos wanted… constant praise from the mainstream media, a way to shield himself from any kind of criticism.
Just look at what happened when President Trump took the fight to Bezos.
Even the biggest liberal on earth couldn’t deny that Trump was 100% correct about Bezos.
Like Trump’s said, Bezos’ companies barely pay taxes, destroying “fully tax-paying retailers” across America. They’re taking unfair advantage of American institutions like the USPS, cutting their costs by exploiting loopholes.
And yet, Bezos’ pet media outlet, and the rest of their mainstream allies, didn’t even bother to consider for a second whether Trump was right to criticize Bezos…
They just said he was jealous.
Here’s how the Washington Post characterized President Trump’s comments on Bezos:
“Amazon’s founder remains mute, his company declining to publicly engage a president with a different prism on reality… [some say Trump’s criticism] stems from Trump’s lifelong rivalry with billionaires who surpass him on lists of the planet’s richest people”.
It’s embarrassing to see the mainstream media pretending that Bezos’ purchase has nothing to do with how they talk about him, when they’re completely ignoring reality just to defend his actions.
