"When it comes to the appearance of conflict, I am not an ideal owner of The Post."
"Trump's undertaking is a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere,"
"illustrates the collapse of the new Washpost Opinion page"
"no clarification or correction appended to the piece."
Jeff Bezos acknowledged that his ownership of The Washington Post creates an appearance of conflict. The Post ran recent editorials that coincided with Bezos's financial or corporate interests and initially omitted disclosure of those interests. One editorial defended President Trump’s East Wing renovation while failing at first to note Amazon’s donation toward the project. The paper inserted an acknowledgment only after an external inquiry and did not flag the alteration as a correction. A veteran news executive publicly criticized the lack of disclosure. The opinion section experienced leadership changes instituted by Bezos this year.
