Ruth Marcus, a columnist at the Washington Post, has resigned after the publisher, Will Lewis, declined to run her piece discussing Jeff Bezos's changes to the editorial section. This follows the resignation of editorial page editor David Shipley, who also disagreed with Bezos's new direction emphasizing personal liberties and free markets. Many fear Bezos's influence is growing, as evidenced by interventions like denying the editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris during the presidential race, raising concerns about editorial independence.
Marcus cited the decision by publisher Will Lewis not to publish her column about the new editorial direction as a pivotal reason for her resignation.
The shift in The Post's editorial focus towards personal liberties and free markets has sparked controversy and concern over Bezos's influence on editorial decisions.
