12. It should be noted that the Washington Post has only an interest

May 2016

in making and keeping happy those Political Big Shots that Jeff Bezos will be going to for favors. (Bezos purchased Wash Po some time ago.)

Bezos had his lobbyists orchestrate the hand over of the US Postal service to Amazon, Spring of 2007. (Under a "Democratic Majority" Congress, BTW.)

Bezos thinks Hillary has a lock on the election - his reporters bring only puff pieces to their editors' desk for approval.

Don't expect much critical thinking aimed at HRC from this source.

Gotta keep that US Postal Service as part and parcel of Amazon's "free delivery" mail room. (And delivery is not really free - smaller businesses have been paying a heftier US Postal charge since Spring 2007, so Amazon can let its customers get a break.)
