I think he bought it to save it but the political winds shifted, he’s become a shittier, shallower person, and killing it slowly preserves his favor with the regime while forestalling serious consumer backlash against Prime.
I don't buy the idea that Bezos is intentionally killing the Post. If he wanted to do that he could have just bought it and shut it down. Plenty of rich people have done that. The problem is he hired a Murdoch tabloid team to manage it and it's not a Murdoch tabloid and you can't run it like one.

A federal agency that has constantly lied to us makes a new promise that the news media take at face value.

We had to kill you because you said mean things.
This statement from our government is deeply disturbing. Homan said 158 people were arrested during the protests and added, “I said if the hateful rhetoric did not stop, there would be bloodshed and there was.”

This gets at something deeper: The role of shame and social stigma for those who participate in Trump-Miller's sadistic ethnonationalist project. As I argue in the piece this is clearly showing up now as warehouse buyers are shamed into nixing any sale to ICE:

NYT is so desperate for a "good cop" they are rehabbing people like Altman.
This article written by Eilleen Sullivan of NYT paints Daniel Altman, former head of CBP-OPR (internal affairs) as a good guy. He is the one responsible for all the coverups! Unbelievable!

Not the only expert who says Eileen Sullivan of NYT is quoting one of the coverup kings. Altman was put in as head of investigations. He coverup up the Haitian whipping, murders and rapes. He is former Border Patrol.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

"Of those participants, 38% percent stayed off the job, either because they did not go to work, or because their employer closed for the day of action."

One in four Minnesota voters took part in the January 23 day of action, or had a loved one who did.

Putin has continued bombing civilians every day including last night. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "I did call up President Putin and he's agreed -- they have the same cold wave that we do, maybe different because it's pretty far away, but it's the equivalent. And Ukraine is a very cold country, much colder than us. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for one week and he's agreed to do it."

MAGA figures are now calling for an *escalation* in ICE's war on Americans. "Raise the temperature," says Steve Bannon. They want an authoritarian terror state and they see ICE as its vanguard.

Pay attention. A president who lost a presidential election and then committed crimes to try to overthrow that presidential election is certainly a president who would do whatever he could to fuck with, take over, or try to cancel a midterm election.👇

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.
BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.
