Jeff Bezos, whose father Miguel Bezos immigrated from Cuba at age 15 (cough, cough), will soon be the new owner of the WaPo.
The Washington Post Co. agreed Monday to sell its flagship newspaper to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos, ending the Graham family’s stewardship of one of America’s leading news organizations after four generations.
I wonder if, considering what we somewhat know about the nerdy genius, this means that the paper will now steer a more centrist attitude and shift a little more to the middle, and also if Bezos has any interest in improving the WaPo's dismal and embarrassing arts coverage.
I think from what I've read that Bezos tends to be more of a "to the left" guy... so I doubt that the Post will shift to the center.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that Cuban-Americans were all right wing types.
ReplyDeleteAnybody's better than the way the Post is run now .
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteThat's a silly statement, it's like saying that "all Jewish voters are left wing" - Oh, wait...
