Which of these Amazon Prime purchases are real?

There's a lot of anti-tech energy on the left lately. And Bezos painted a target on his back by getting into Twitter feuds with Trump. He's also now synonymous with the Washington Post which has never met a Republican they liked.

This all adds up to a company nobody seems to like in DC. If there's any company I could see getting a Washington smackdown soon, it's Amazon.

Have you ever actually read the WaPo editorial page?

I’m talking about their reporting, not their editorials — which, no, I don’t regularly read. Although it’s worth noting they’ve not once endorsed a Republican for president, ever.

They serve DC, so I’m not surprised or upset they have a bias — but we shouldn’t pretend it doesn’t exist either.

Obviously owning a liberal newspaper doesn’t win Bezos any points on the right, which became obvious with Trump supposedly pressuring the Pentagon not to use AWS.

There is no political solution until politics is clean. Left, right, whatever. It’s all mood until then.
