From the Washington Post:

“Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said Wednesday that the newspaper’s opinions section would now be focused on “personal liberties and free markets” and won’t publish anything that opposes those ideas.”

For now, it appears that Bezos is not seeking to influence the Post’s reporting, but this does have a chilling similarity to the Orbán playbook, as described in this podcast with Kim Lane Scheppele. A key moment in Hungary’s slide to autocracy was the purchase of major news outlets by wealthy allies of Orbán. The dynamics are obviously different here, but Fox, X, and now the Washington Post.
