Romenesko: Bezos buys Washington Post for $250 million

I was commenting on you making conservative a proper name and liberal lowercase. That was a little heavy-handed and obvious even for you.

 

I know. My biases show through. I'd be a terrible newspaper publisher.

(In all actuality, it was a simple, but sort of funny, mistake.)

 

Yes, a conservative owner can be as impartial as a LIBERAL owner. But in the case of the Koch brothers, it's hard to think that would be the case.

 

Your lack of understanding how journalism is meant to work is showing. Both sides of bias are equally wrong. You print truth. Any organization that hides or alters the truth for web hits is nothing more than entertainment.

 

Then all of you should have majored in marketing and PR.

 

Dumb, and no sense of humor, is no way to go through life.

 

Trolling internet boards trying to impress people isn't either.

 

So, you admit to being dumb, and having no sense of humor!

We're making progress. That's the first step.

 

Oh, Christ, I didn't say I agreed. It's a fact.

 

Name calling is a great way to make your point.

 

Absolutely, it's a fact.

 

One aspect of this sale that is interesting is that Amazon is developing it's own shows ala Netflix, Hulu. I could see it moving more and more into content development (TV, publishing, music). The Kindle Fire has proven to be quite popular. And you could develop content that is exclusive to that device.
