Will the Washington Post cover this story?

    I would hope that if Bezos is quashing this story that some editor would have the integrity to go public with that fact. Bezos bought the Post at a bargain-basement price, but if it comes out that he's quashing stories, the value of the Post as a news source has to go down.

    This is YF at his finest, trolling this into a discussion.

    The Washington Post has never been much of a player in business journalism. It isn't their story to get based on their history.

    The Post should report on Amazon, but only if it doesn't distract from its Benghazi coverage.

    They covered Amazon in the past, under the old ownership.

    A failure to do so now would be very telling.

    They covered happy news at Amazon three times in the last couple of weeks.

    I'd just as soon see the Post recuse itself of Amazon coverage altogether.

    Are you asking Fox News to point out flaws in free market alternatives to Obamacare?

    Do we not expect more out of the Washington Post than we do Fox News?

    And why is that?

    Because it's the Washington Fucking Post. It's supposed to be a great newspaper.

    Fox News is supposed to get ratings.

    They are very different products, and everyone here should know and acknowledge that.

    Except Fox News doesn't claim to be a different product, except in delivery.
