Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post, has announced plans to revamp the newspaper's opinion section. He intends to use the editorial pages as a platform to promote two conservative principles: free markets and personal liberties. This shift in focus has sparked controversy within the newsroom and the media industry, with opinions editor David Shipley announcing his departure.

    1. 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.
    2. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views.
    3. We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

    1. I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know.

    1. Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post's opinion section today—makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there.
