In a recent interview, Donald Trump conveyed optimism about his relationship with Jeff Bezos, discussing their talks about the Washington Post's new direction under Bezos. He relayed that Bezos felt underappreciated by the newspaper's staff, indicating some internal discord. Bezos aims to emphasize personal liberties and free markets in the paper's opinion pages, believing these viewpoints are often neglected in current media. Trump praised these changes, suggesting they indicate a desire for greater fairness in reporting, and acknowledged the challenges Bezos has faced from media coverage.
"They actually did a couple of bad articles on him (Bezos); he said, 'This is crazy, I lose my fortune running this thing and they're out of control.'"
"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets... but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others."
"I'm confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America... these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion."
"I think the changes coming to the Post are great... Bezos is really trying to be more fair and has also been the subject of unfavorable media coverage."
