Of course, Peter Baker of The New York Times is big mad at Jeff Bezos over the latest round of firings at the Washington Post. We don’t recall Baker caring when a bunch of coalminers lost their jobs during the Biden years; in fact, he may well have supported the narrative that they should learn to code.
Ironically, he does not seem to think the same about the WaPo journos who lost their gigs and wants Bezos to just absorb the loss.
No, really.
Look at this:
Jeff Bezos wealth in 2024: $194 billion
Jeff Bezos wealth in 2025: $215 billion
Jeff Bezos wealth today: $249.4 billion
Net increase in Bezos wealth since 2024: $55.4 billion
Cost of Bezos’s 417-foot superyacht: $500 million
Amazon investment in “Melania”: $75 million…

Post continues:
Amazon investment in “Melania”: $75 million
Original Bezos purchase price of the Washington Post in 2013: $250 million
Bezos net worth in 2013: $25.2 billion
Net increase in Bezos wealth since buying the Post: $224.2 billion
Last reported annual losses of Post: $100 million
Number of years Bezos could absorb those losses with what he makes in a single week: 5
What a freakin’ bite in the arse, right?
Oilfield Rando knocked him down a notch or FIVE:
There’s so much money circulating in the left wing “non-profit” space that CEOs of them are regularly paid over a million dollars a YEAR.
Why don’t you demand THEIR money, Peter? https://t.co/uT5rTNoMZx

Ooh, ooh, we know!
There was a time when journalists would actually do the kind of work you’re doing, because it was their bread and butter. But that was before partisans like Peter and his wife ruined everything.

In DC alone, political nonprofits regularly raise and burn 100s of millions per year in a giant bonfire of position papers and podcasts and other nonsense. They could absolutely fund this if the wanted to

But it’s different when they get rich, or something. Yeah, that’s it.
Even worse, taxpayers are paying those salaries for non profit CEOs as we found out with USAID.

Exactly. So you’d think a journo like Baker would see that’s the real story but … no.
Not a word about Fraud and theft. Just legitimate businessmen, earning the own wealth. Sheesh! The gall of these folks.
