So how involved do we think Bezos has been with this affair after the 'revelation' he was involved with their not endorsing a candidate lol?

I've assumed since Bezos bought the Post that the editors try to guess what wants because if they piss him off - he will just fire their ass. I think once Trump is president - the obsequiousness will be even more blatant. Yet after Trump's inauguration somebody in the media like Chris Hayes will have a notable comment. Hayes - or whoever - will say something like "What in heaven's name is going on at the Washington Post? The storied paper's motto is 'Democracy dies in darkness' yet...." as if Bezo's super-billionaire wealth wasn't a problem from the first day he bought it.

I just realized it might not be anybody at MNSBC at all. They might get sold and their name, POV, etc could be changed. The media under Trump 2.0 will be a trip.
