His henchman are now running the paper, and are likely to steer the Post into a Trump-subservient, Tory-branded retreat.
Dan Froomkin at Presswatchers clues us in to what to expect. Owner Bezos installed Murdoch toady Will Lewis, whose record is squalid to say the least, as publisher. OK, could we stop deluding ourselves that mogul ownership doesn’t influence editorial coverage?
Bezos refuses to adquately fund the Post, and therefore Lewis presided over the disastrous buy-outs of last fall, which crippled the editorial staff.
Lewis has wasted no time in “unceremoniously driving out executive editor Sally Buzbee and replacing her with two additional white male former Murdoch henchmen.”
Question: Why are Murdoch-ites considered qualified to run a legitimate, mainstream news organization? And why does America need to provide employment opportunities for right-wing British media executives?
