I find it important that he writes, that freedom of individuals and markets is important because it is without coercion.

To then go on and write that he tried to coerce his editor to accept the change with a "hell yes" or basically resign. This is coercion. Doesn't he see this? Is the irony lost on him?

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion.

He doesn't give a fuck about whether his statements reflect reality at all, he only cares that his statements push reality towards being like how he thinks it ought to be, with him in charge and us under his thumb

Is he trying to "get out in front of this story" like he did with the photos of him having an affair? Has anyone heard from David Shipley what happened?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Sounds like he wants more direct control.

"Democracy dies in darkness"

Honestly, the whole paper should just be entirely blacked out.

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

Mmm. Well, I'll take a look at their editorials, see where this is going. I don't have a problem with personal liberties and free markets, but there can be baggage that comes with that.

The way Bezos uses those terms, they don't mean what you might think they mean.
