Amazon Founder Bezos to Buy Washington Post
Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos is buying The Washington Post and other newspapers for $250 million.
The longtime publisher, The Washington Post Co., announced the deal Monday. Bezos is buying the paper as an individual. Amazon.com Inc. is not involved.
He may be acquiring it as an individual but this sounds like more consolidation of the media and the corporate elite. At least he won't need to make many changes to the Post's editorial positions to make it friendly to his other interests.
I wonder how long it will be before the New York Times becomes part of the Walmart family. I can just see Maureen Dowd doing commercials for them.
