No courage, or he would have stood up for these principles long ago.
But he knows which way the wind is blowing.
He’ll need to recruit entirely new readership.
Will be interesting to see if his editorial teams go “in your face” to the Beltway Crowd.
Selected Comment … “Hell has frozen over, honey”
BREAKING: Jeff Bezos announces the Washington Post editorial board will now only write from viewpoints in support of “personal liberties and free markets.”
The move caused David Shipley to step away as Editorial Editor.
“Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
“I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.”
Its not like Trump to really lay out these core philosophical principles.
And I don’t see others on his team doing so either.
Perhaps for them, its so obvious no one needs reminding.
But this is what Milei would be saying. REMINDING people of what used to be.
Maybe Jeff has made that mental leap.
Now, if only teachers would start doing so in elementary and middle schools.
