I think it's fair to wonder if he wants the megaphone.

I implore you to READ....especially, the way news is managed there, the Times, etc.
You are making extremely general, unfair and untrue comments.
Please read beyond what is preached to you.
Thanks. I think you might b impressed with the journllistic efforts by these papers.
It is so good, in fact, that each time n error is made, Some make a really big deal of it. And that is very rare. And always prompted by the same source.
The Post and the Times, and some others, always acknowledge and apologize if necessary...correct. The source that complains, based on corrections and apologizes has
NEVER been wrong
To respond directly to the question....why.
Simple, newspapers were (are) floundering relative to the print. Bezoz he the money and savvy online to save a longtrusted corporation. He brought the paper an online presence. Very little, if any impact on the news coverage or editorial base.
Bottom line is the bottom line...good financial opportunity, but
NOT some devious conspiracy.
