Washington Post subscribers cancel in droves after Jeff Bezos overhauls opinion page
Story by Ariel Zilber • 15h

More than 75,000 digital subscribers have canceled their subscriptions to The Washington Post following an announcement by its owner, Jeff Bezos, that the paper’s opinion section would be revamped to align with libertarian ideals touting “personal liberties” and “free markets,” according to a report.
 
The decision, which Bezos announced on Wednesday, triggered immediate upheaval within the organization, including the resignation of opinions editor David Shipley, who had unsuccessfully attempted to dissuade Bezos from the change.

A previous mass exodus of subscribers began in late October when Bezos reportedly blocked a planned endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Between that decision and Election Day, over 300,000 subscribers severed ties with the Post, amounting to more than 12% of its digital subscribers.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
