Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
Maybe he wants to get out of the red, after all he is a businessman, isn’t he?
Or, is he something else?
Bezos didn't purchase a newspaper to make money. But he doesn't want WaPo to interfere with his other investments and he wants the newspaper to break even.
reply
Isn’t that business decision-maiking? He is counting all of his investments in a unified vision. WaPo is a small part that will definitely affect the other parts. Consequently, he makes the decision and, perhaps, even looks forward to thinning out his staff.
reply
Yes
My point is that his reason for buying WaPo was political/pop cultural.
He wasn't motivated by money or profits.
He doesn't view WaPo as a financial investment rather it is a vehicle for influencing news and political discourse.

Why does anyone own newspapers today? Newspaper is not a growth industry or cash cow.
