=== Bezos and the Washington Post (03:23) ===

[00:00:00]  There's a very interesting thing taking place at the Washington Post.
[00:00:03]  I don't know if you're following this.
[00:00:04]  The Washington Post has announced just about three, four days ago that they would not be endorsing anyone for president.
[00:00:14]  Jeff Bezos, the founder and owner of Amazon, one of the richest men on earth, is the owner of the Washington Post.
[00:00:22]  He bailed the Washington Post out.
[00:00:24]  I'm not sure there would be a Washington Post if it weren't for Jeff Bezos.
[00:00:28]  But he said, we should return to our roots and not endorse people for president.
[00:00:33]  He wrote a column in the Washington Post in which he defended his decision.
[00:00:38]  And he said, we are the least trusted group in America.
[00:00:42]  We are even behind Congress.
[00:00:45]  That's how few people trust the media.
[00:00:48]  And endorsing somebody for president, it just adds to the belief that we're biased.
[00:00:55]  And what good does it do?
[00:00:58]  It doesn't change anybody's minds anyway.
[00:01:00]  People who read the Washington Post editorials agree with Washington Post policies.
[00:01:06]  Seems to have made sense to me, but it doesn't matter because a bunch of editors at the Washington Post resigned and there were 10,000 comments.
[00:01:16]  I've never seen so many comments on a piece in my life.
[00:01:19]  I think it was 10,000.
[00:01:21]  And I read the most popular, and they were all about what a phony Jeff Bezos is.
[00:01:28]  He just wants to be in cahoots with Donald Trump, which is somewhat of a joke given the Washington Post's policies vis-a-vis Donald Trump.
[00:01:39]  This notion that he's in bed with Donald Trump is somewhat absurd.
[00:01:44]  But in any event, that's what they're claiming.
[00:01:48]  And they've vowed that some people have canceled their subscriptions to the Washington Post.
[00:01:55]  And I find it unbelievable.
[00:02:00]  I told you, by definition, every leftist is an ingrate.
[00:02:05]  If they were not an ingrate, they would be a liberal or a conservative.
[00:02:08]  But every leftist is an ingrate, first and foremost, about America.
[00:02:13]  They're not grateful for living in this country.
[00:02:16]  Which, in their regard, is a racist cesspool.
[00:02:20]  So, they have no, they apparently have no gratitude to Jeff Bezos for bailing out the newspaper.
[00:02:28]  The reason there is a Washington Post, to the extent that there is one, in other words, there may be one if it weren't for him, but it would be a shell.
[00:02:40]  Intellectually, it is a shell in my opinion.
[00:02:42]  Opinion anyway, but that's beside the point.
[00:02:45]  And so a bunch of people have resigned, and all the readers are very angry at Jeff Bezos.
[00:02:51]  I think one, I saw one comment, you know, if it weren't for Bezos, we wouldn't have a Washington Post, but it was an ignored comment, and everybody went on to condemn him.
[00:03:01]  Like it matters if the Washington Post writes an editorial on behalf of Kamala Harris.
[00:03:08]  Virtually every opinion piece has been anti-Trump for eight years, nine years.
[00:03:15]  Virtually every news piece is anti-Trump for the same amount of time.
[00:03:20]  You need an editorial as well?
