Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of the Washington Post, is making changes to the newspaper’s opinion pages to limit what he described as viewpoints opposing “personal liberties and free markets.”
The shift, which Bezos announced Wednesday in a post on X, resulted in the resignation of David Shipley, the Post’s opinion section editor. Shipley joined the Post in 2022 after earlier stints at the New Republic, the New York Times and Bloomberg News.
