David Remnick: Jeff Bezos Out of Fear Is Kissing Trump’s Hand

EXCERPT:

REMNICK: “Jeff Bezos bought the 'Washington Post' for half the price of his boat and he has treated it like a rubber dinghy. And it is a terrible tragedy. Don Graham and Katharine Graham valued the importance of the 'Washington Post' and what it can do and gave it editorial freedom, and we're really forced to give up the paper for financial reasons. And they thought they found in Jeff Bezos somebody with infinite resources that would, you know, support its reporting and its diversity of opinion and all that makes it important. And now Jeff Bezos, out of fear, out of fear of Donald Trump and what's happening in the world, is giving up, is throwing up his hands and kissing the ring of the president of the United States, who is behaving himself as an incipient authoritarian.”
