Part of the article:

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said Wednesday that the newspaper's opinions section would now be focused on "personal liberties and free markets" and won't publish anything that opposes those ideas. With the shift, opinions editor David Shipley has resigned, and The Post is searching for a successor.

"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets," the billionaire Amazon founder wrote in an email to Post staffers that he also published on X. "We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others."

How many times can somebody write, "God bless free markets and capitalism."

I fully expect a damning excoriation of Trump's tariffs.
