> isn't that what we want from our newspapers? To be neutral during elections and just report what's going on?

There's no such thing as 'neutral' in the media business. Bezos did not endorse Trump but he left his fellow oligarch to fund and promote him without a counter-balance.

Bezos craves Trump's policies because they strongly support monopolistic entities like him - deregulation, tariffs for market cornering, inflation, high deficit and low taxes for high profits. These are policies that make Bezos richer, assuming he cares about anything else is severe misunderstanding of the oligarchic mind.

There's no material reason to believe that Bezos is sincere in his "centrist" posturing, such believes can only be due to mental impairment or conflicts of interest. Thus, people who are smart and don't like being played are dropping his paper.
