Washington Submit opinion editor David Shipley resigned Tuesday after the paper’s proprietor, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, introduced that, going ahead, on the opinion pages, “We’re going to be writing every single day in assist and protection of two pillars: private liberties and free markets.”
Bezos made the announcement to the Submit employees on Tuesday. “We’ll cowl different matters too after all,” he added, “however viewpoints opposing these pillars will likely be left to be revealed by others.”
“I’m of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our nation didn’t get right here by being typical,” Bezos continued. “And a giant a part of America’s success has been freedom within the financial realm and all over the place else.”
He pressured that “Freedom is moral — it minimizes coercion — and sensible — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.”
Of Shipley, Bezos mentioned, “I provided David Shipley, whom I drastically admire, the chance to guide this new chapter. I prompt to him that if the reply wasn’t ‘hell sure,’ then it needed to be ‘no.’”
“After cautious consideration, David determined to step away.”
Yeah, that’s a disgrace.
“I’m assured that free markets and private liberties are proper for America. I additionally consider these viewpoints are underserved within the present market of concepts and information opinion,” Bezos mentioned in closing. “I’m excited for us collectively to fill that void.”
One crybaby Submit staffer has already threatened to give up: “I nonetheless haven’t felt encroachment on my journalism on the information facet of protection,” wrote somebody who works on the Submit named Jeff Stein, “but when Bezos tries interfering with the information facet I will likely be quitting instantly and letting you realize.”
Yeah, you tell us, Jeff. We’ll all be proper right here on the sting of our seats ready so that you can tell us.

A crybaby Submit subscriber who does authorized evaluation for cable information is so offended by the concept of defending free markets and private liberty, he canceled his subscription.
This appears to be like to me like a Trump-style transfer to rid his failing newspaper of the Woke Parasites consuming it alive. Possibly this can get extra of them to self-deport give up in a huff like Jennifer Rubin did (no person misses her). That method there’s no severance or lawsuits.
All of this leaves me with questions… How severe is Bezos? If we’ll lastly have an institution media outlet acknowledge that particular person liberty and free markets are value defending, that will be a sea change inside an total media establishment that seeks to enslave us with a “benevolent” centralized authorities solely interested by “equity” and “fairness” and the “better good.”
What’s his definition of non-public liberty? Does Bezos acknowledge that forcing a person to make use of sure pronouns is fascism, or does he consider “private liberty” means some pervert should be addressed utilizing the pervert’s most popular pronouns?
Let’s say, although, that Bezos will get it, which might be unbelievable. Is that this new editorial coverage sufficient of a shift in direction of sanity to avoid wasting the Submit, or is it too late?
My guess is that it’s too late, which is a disgrace if Bezos is certainly honest.
