What's the practical difference between A Bezos editorial and an editorial board editorial from a paper that he owns?
Whether I'm scolded by Bezos or Bezos's editorial board, it's still being scolded by Bezos. Or whomever owns the next media outlet in question.
After all if Bezos openly controls the editorial direction of the paper at any point in time, then it would be ridiculous to assume that any media outlet's editorial staff is not directionally influenced by their employer generally.
You don't believe that media ownership by any given billionaire influences media opinion with which you agree?
That's a strange take for someone whom I assume asserts a moral logic in their worldview. How can billionaires only be guilty of media control when you disagree with the editorial direction?
What does "every billionaire is a policy mistake mean" in the context of my second question? Your comment seems like a non sequitur.
