Just like Bezos and the mainstream media use their platform to amplify left wing views?


This is why it's getting annoying to see this sort of headline. "Nobody should own the public square... Unless it's a cadre of young San Francisco leftists who represent one of the most extreme left factions in the country. They should own the public square."


Wait, Bezos like Jeff Bezos?former owner of Amazon Jeff Bezos? Since when has Jeff Bezos been left wing? His political contribution history is mostly to Republicans.


I think they're deducing that from Bezos's ownership of the Washington Post, which is (very mildly) progressive (left of the establishment median). I don't know that Bezos has himself really indicated much about his own political preferences nor does he exert strong editorial control over the Po.
