> Keep in mind, The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, who is a billionaire herself due to their divorce settlement. The outlet clearly has an ideological bias aimed at retaining capitalism’s fundamental economic relations.
She has a name, you know. And she is a billionaire because she had stock in the corporation she founded with Bezos, not because of their “divorce settlement.” Their divorce is simply what freed her to unilaterally donate millions, if not more than a billion, right after they separated.
Regardless, literally every major American news corporation is owned by corporations (or people who have large stakes in corporations), and even the minor ones are motivated by keeping advertisers happy. Go look at Orwell’s ww2 diary entries - he maps out the kind of advertising was funding the news during war time. Fascinating stuff.
