More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.
Silly. Bezos wants the newspaper to be neutral… god forbid right?
No. Bezos would profit from a trump presidency. Always follow the money.
forgot your /s, mate. Happens all the time.
bezos would learn his lesson if his actual life was in danger and not just his money. people will have to get serious if they want to send a message.
AMAZON. FLEE AMAZON!!!

I think you commented on the wrong post.
yep
The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.
200,000 so far
I don’t see 200,000 trumptards rushing in to pick up the slack.
They’re already mortgaging their houses to buy Trump NFTs.
Wow. A huge number.
People need to cancel Amazon prime instead
I’ll be doing that soon enough…
Same just gotta do this last dog food order…
I have a funny feeling Jeff doesn’t own the paper for the money.
Wait until he rebrand it “y”.
Y would I buy from Y?
I think Elon mismanaged Twitter tremendously but a very clear “this is my toy and I’ll break it if i want” message was sent and a very dangerous message it was. Gives me the same vibe. Bezos doesn’t need to own it but he does and he’ll do what he pleases.
I’m glad this happens in a world where newspapers endorse candidates, but I also don’t get why newspapers are allowed to endorse candidates in the first place. I guess that is the least of our concerns when you look at media bias, but still…
Newspapers are allowed to endorse candidates because the first amendment protects free speech. While I may agree with you that endorsements and news media stumping for ANY candidate is problematic and reeks of propaganda, it is, for better or worse, protected by the constitution.
Indeed, it’s a shame that companies are considered people.
I mean when the choice is either facism or democracy, I’d assume being unbiased is a little hard. After all, the nazis did attack the press first to instill propaganda.
Now triple it and do the same to Amazon.
I’m a little surprised to be honest.
The question is, can it grow to a point that will put a big enough dent in their profits to matter…
Ten percent in a couple days?
Man, Trump is such a bad businessman that he kills other people’s companies as well.
It looks like Trump owns Bezos.
Race is on to be the worlds first Trillionaire. So many people to shit on to get that high score and only one person will help them get there.
WaPo - “Democracy dies in darkness”
Bezos - “I can deliver darkness to everyone in America in 2 days or less”
“We endorse Democrats! REJOICE!!!”
“We want to stay neutral! BURN THEM ALIVE!”
Can’t make this shit up…
WaPo editors wanted to endorse Harris.
Bezos, who is not an editor, forced them to remain neutral.
That’s a problem. People don’t subscribe to WaPo because they want to read Bezos’s thoughts.
Editors wish to use their paper to endorse a candidate, the owner of the paper does not want them to do that so their endorsement is not written. What’s the issue here?
A good newspaper has an independent editors.
