Subject: Re: No WaPo endorsement for Harris
I’m sure Bezos is not that concerned about the Post. He’s far more concerned about any potential retaliation hitting Amazon.

Moral of the story: Jeff Bezos should find a hobby other than owner of the Washington Post.

Turns out it’s a millstone around his neck. Wouldn’t blame him if he sold it. In fact, I’d think it would be in his best interest.

Last count at 5 pm): 2000 canceled WaPo subscriptions, and that was very soon after the announcement that WaPo wouldn’t be endorsing anyone.
Last count: 11 pm 21 thousand comments on the article making the announcement- almost all of them negative.

Who knows how many Amazon Prime subscriptions are being canceled? Purchases on Amazon?
My wife wanted a new kindle for Christmas but while each of us was canceling our WaPo subscriptions, she told me to hold off on the Amazon Kindle purcase. I don’t think we’re the only ones making such decisions tonight. Still…. chump change for Jeff Bezos.


But at some point he may begin to wonder if his newspaper hobby is worth it.
