I'd say no, but that's a lie: WaPo seems a respectable newspaper. Is it? Any news source recommendations?IN THE AMAZON-OWNED WASHINGTON POST
Nope. Amazon.com, the huge, publicly traded, Fortune/S&P 500 company, does not own The Washington Post or any of its affiliated publications. Bezos [the CEO — FBR] is buying us with his personal fortune rather than through Amazon.
They haven't had any dust-ups like Judith Miller or Jayson Blair. They've got skilled and seasoned reporters on staff. That said, Bezos is a shady fuck. Is there some sotto voce directive to write shit about how Costco is fucked but not about how Amazon has its own challenges? I doubt it. But it also wouldn't surprise me if they did.
