Ir’s really the only explanation that makes sense. Lewis is an atrociously bad fit for the Washington Post, as was demonstrated when he called an editorial meeting and then proceeded to insult the Post’s distinguished journalistic personnel. Murdoch’s yeomen never know how to function outside their louche, authoritarian bubble.
The giveaway: Lewis at his get acquainted meeting boasted that he was going to pursue “untapped audiences.” Welcome to the Murdoch tabloidization of the Post.
Bezos has tortured, not nurtured the Post. It’s as if he lacks any respect for it, beginning with his demand for ersonnel cuts the moment he acquired the paper. He is nickel-and-diming them into free fall.
