Jeff Bezos Goes Countermoonbat
First Elon Musk becomes a crusader for countermoonbattery. Now we read this — from the owner of the Washington Post:
I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:
I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too…
— Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) February 26, 2025
Highlights:
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, 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. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
Mainstream media skulls are exploding. America is good? It is supposed to be depicted as racist, homophobic, exploitative, et cetera. Personal liberties are good? What if someone says something that Democrats regard as misinformation? The free market is good? But if it lifts people out of poverty and dependence, they might stop voting as they are told!
Bezos is officially out of compliance with liberal establishment ideology.
Editorial page editor David Shipley is not on board with this new direction, so he jumped over the gunwale.
This isn’t the first time recently that Bezos stepping back from moonbattery has caused conflict. As Fox News reports,
The paper came under fire after Bezos stopped the editorial page from endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, prompting several staffers to leave the paper. …
Former columnist Jennifer Rubin left the paper amid the endorsement fallout, as did editor-at-large Robert Kagan.
The shrill moonbat Rubin was regarded by some as a token conservative at WaPo.
Liberals also canceled their subscriptions to the Post after its non-endorsement.
No problem. The free market Bezos embraces will more than compensate. The market for moonbattery is flooded. It does not make business sense.
No wonder Democrats hate billionaires so much. At least they still have Soros. Note the difference: Musk and Bezos earned their wealth by providing people with goods and services considered worth paying for. Soros got rich by moving money around, without noticeably producing anything of value.
