    • I’m not at all surprised that Bezos got cold feet about the Democracy Dies in Darkness move in 2017. I was more surprised that he seemed to react by turning the Post into a washed out version of Politico and gutted really good arts, food and sports coverage. The Post lost Wordle to the NY Times because they wouldn’t bid over a few million bucks for it, and that kind of cheapness probably cost them a million annual subscribers.

      Basically turning the Post into nothing more than NY Times political coverage killed the brand, and they’ve been bleeding cash ever since.

      It’s pretty clear that Bezos is like David Zaslav and he has no sense at all for what content people want, and hates delivering it. The Tolkien stuff has no buzz and it’s hard to think of Prime Video functioning like a serious network.

      And now they’re trashing what’s left of their journalism brand. It’s like something a lot of sports owners like John Fisher and David Tepper are doing in taking extra steps to destroy goodwill for no clear business value.
