 WaPo Editor Quits After Bezos Orders Opinion Page to Defend Free Markets, Personal Liberty

Breitbart: Washington Post opinion editor David Shipley resigned Tuesday after the paper’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced that, going forward, on the opinion pages, “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

Bezos made the announcement to the Post staff on Tuesday. “We’ll cover other topics too of course,” he added, “but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”

“I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical,” Bezos continued. “And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.” more

  1. Shipley shipped out for greener pastures. He hopes to find one in a greener pasture that is willing to hire the imbecile. There is something about “freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else” he doesn’t like.

    Good luck David Shipley. The world is not turning your way at the moment.

  2. I believe Bozos suddenly turning to free market as much as I believe (F)uck suddenly turning to free speech.
    In other words color me skeptical. Where were they both four years ago? They’re both nothing but whores and camp followers, going in whichever way the political winds blow.

  3. Telling Shipley to write about free markets is like casting Blessed Water from the Holy Grail upon Satan.
