"For more than a year, the Washington Post has received criticism from staffers and readers alike over its apparent shift in identity. In February, Post owner Jeff Bezos announced that the newspaper's opinion section would now be dedicated to the support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. Hours after making the announcement, Bezos dined with President Donald Trump."
"Thiessen responded, Thanks Mark. But not such an outlier any more! We're now a conservative opinion page. Thiessen's article was warmly received by President Donald Trump, who wrote in a Truth Social post, Thank you Washington Post. Wow!!! Washington Post columnist David Ignatius also praised Trump's Gaza peace plan on MSNBC, Thursday, declaring, Joe Biden could never do that. And Donald Trump was able to do it."
Marc Thiessen proclaimed the Washington Post a conservative opinion page after endorsing Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize and receiving praise from Trump and allies. Mark Dubowitz described Thiessen as a welcome outlier at the Post, and Thiessen celebrated the paper's changing stance. Jeff Bezos announced a new focus on personal liberties and free markets and subsequently dined with President Trump. The Post announced it would stop endorsing presidential candidates, triggering several editorial board resignations and the opinion editor's departure. Some veteran writers accused the paper of killing or censoring their pieces while conservative officials applauded the shift.
