Did he believe it already? Loki Liesmith Aug 2019 #1
Its a question of ethics crazytown Aug 2019 #2
The Washington Business Journal is not the WaPo. yardwork Aug 2019 #16
To someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail... (nt) ehrnst Aug 2019 #89
And WaPO refused the op-ed, and then got the emails and exposed the lack of transparency... ehrnst Aug 2019 #39
George Mason University, of course . . . hatrack Aug 2019 #3
The University gave the Koch Foundation a say in the hiring and firing of professors? crazytown Aug 2019 #4
But...but... I thought the WAPO journos toe Bezos's line and would never upset him. ehrnst Aug 2019 #5
WaPo haven't treated Bernie Sanders well crazytown Aug 2019 #6
So WAPO writing an expose about Amazon being behind an OP-ED is "toeing the Bezos line?" ehrnst Aug 2019 #8
WaPo are not honest brokers. crazytown Aug 2019 #13
This thread is pathetic. You completely misunderstood and misrepresented what happened. yardwork Aug 2019 #18
WaPo does not give progressives a fair shake, crazytown Aug 2019 #42
Are you suggesting that WaPO's breaking of the story on Sander's campaign staff labor dispute ehrnst Aug 2019 #55
The timing was suspicious. crazytown Aug 2019 #58
Timing fits right in with Sanders' attempts to discredit WaPo, doesn't it? ehrnst Aug 2019 #79

I can't go there crazytown Aug 2019 #84
Bull. To answer it would damage your argument about "organ grinders" knowing everything ehrnst Aug 2019 #100
This is about Bezos not Sanders. crazytown Aug 2019 #102
It's about you not directing the same standards of "plausible deniability" at ehrnst Aug 2019 #105
You brought up Sanders in this thread. yardwork Aug 2019 #112
While you make many allegations... LanternWaste Aug 2019 #82
Because they broke a true story about Bernie's campaign staff's labor dispute? ehrnst Aug 2019 #85
I'm not an Amazon billionaire, and I criticize Sanders (and other candidates)-- dawg day Aug 2019 #114
The headline is wrong. The Washington Post turned down the piece. yardwork Aug 2019 #7
And then WAPO wrote this expose of Amazon and this professor. (nt) ehrnst Aug 2019 #9
Correct. The OP is completely inaccurate. yardwork Aug 2019 #11
Have corrected my OP crazytown Aug 2019 #10
Your sub-header is still incorrect. There was no WaPo op-ed. yardwork Aug 2019 #12
Edited. crazytown Aug 2019 #14
No it doesn't. Lol. yardwork Aug 2019 #21
Prove it. crazytown Aug 2019 #28
Prove that the story states that Amazon suggested he offer it to WaPO ehrnst Aug 2019 #31
OH ... and he just happened to offer it to WaPo? crazytown Aug 2019 #33
WaPO is a local paper to Arlington, VA ehrnst Aug 2019 #45
Um.... look at the "local" by the headline. ehrnst Aug 2019 #60
So you tell me, crazytown Aug 2019 #66
You were the one stating that offering it to the WaPO was evidence that ehrnst Aug 2019 #98
Actually, Bezos isn't the subject of the article, or mentioned. How is that 'correcting' it? ehrnst Aug 2019 #15
Post removed Post removed Aug 2019 #17
Bezos himself suggested this? You know this how? yardwork Aug 2019 #19
Ah ... crazytown Aug 2019 #22
I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe! yardwork Aug 2019 #23
So, Amazon's PR department are loose canons crazytown Aug 2019 #26
So now you've veered completely away from the actual content and implications of a WaPO article ehrnst Aug 2019 #47
"So, what in your theory is the reason that Bezos wanted this expose written?" crazytown Aug 2019 #51
Nice try at evasion ... why would he allow the expose that you are linking to in your OP? ehrnst Aug 2019 #62
Plausible deniability. crazytown Aug 2019 #64
So, let me get this straight... ehrnst Aug 2019 #69
One could say that about Bernie Sanders hands on management. ehrnst Aug 2019 #108
Actually, the article states that it was " a company executive" not "the company" ehrnst Aug 2019 #34
Where does it say that the "company official" was Bezos? ehrnst Aug 2019 #32
Leaving it to an employee to do the dirty work crazytown Aug 2019 #35
And now you've edited your OP again and it is NOT the same as the WaPo headline. yardwork Aug 2019 #20
The sub-head is exactly the same as the WaPo headline. crazytown Aug 2019 #24
Your headline would not pass muster with any reputable editor ehrnst Aug 2019 #36
You can't embellish the fact crazytown Aug 2019 #38

The liar here is the 'Prominent Economist' crazytown Aug 2019 #56
You are calling Marty Baron a liar for saying that Bezos does not interfer in the newsroom. (nt) ehrnst Aug 2019 #70
Yoh keep trying to put words in my mouth. crazytown Aug 2019 #92
Actually, you're the one doing the inventing. Your statements directly contradict what Baron says ehrnst Aug 2019 #97
Still incorrect: Nothing in the article about Amazon suggesting he write a "WaPO OP-ED." ehrnst Aug 2019 #25
Oh. And Bernie's endless criticism of Amazon paying Zero Corporate Taxes crazytown Aug 2019 #27
So WaPo's breaking the story about Bernie's campaign staff's labor dispute doesn't have anything ehrnst Aug 2019 #43
Subject text is misleading: Bezos is not mentioned in the article, nor was it an "op-ed to WaPO" ehrnst Aug 2019 #29
Amazon does not act on matters as important as a new corporate HQ crazytown Aug 2019 #30
So, then... why didn't WaPO print the Op-ed? And why did it expose the connection between ehrnst Aug 2019 #37
If you've got a bunch of stooges lining up to submit bogus op-eds crazytown Aug 2019 #40

Ok... ehrnst Aug 2019 #93
"Amazon NPR"? ehrnst Aug 2019 #94
The "$30,000 harassment settlement paid by their campaign" crazytown Aug 2019 #96
So no comeback about "Amazon NPR" or "Amazon USA Today?" ehrnst Aug 2019 #111
"Amazon USA Today?" ehrnst Aug 2019 #95
Are you really calling Marty Baron a liar? What credibility do you have to imply that? (nt) ehrnst Aug 2019 #50
Better editors than Marty Baron have buckled crazytown Aug 2019 #53
So you are calling Marty Baron a liar. Why should I believe you more than him? (nt) ehrnst Aug 2019 #54
Follow the money crazytown Aug 2019 #61
Not seeing where that gives you more credibility than Marty Baron. ehrnst Aug 2019 #63
I'm not sure I follow you here. crazytown Aug 2019 #65
I asked you how this makes you more credible than Marty Baron. That's pretty clear. ehrnst Aug 2019 #72
Why not simply provide us with objective evidence? LanternWaste Aug 2019 #88
To someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail ehrnst Aug 2019 #91
Bezos owns the Washington Post, so why would he "put the screws" on it? yardwork Aug 2019 #67
Murdock doesn't 'tell' his editors what to do, crazytown Aug 2019 #68

Whatever crazytown Aug 2019 #75
It sounds like real journalism isn't an interest of yours. yardwork Aug 2019 #76
What Murdoch has done to 'real journalism' is beyond compare. crazytown Aug 2019 #80
You haven't supplied any evidence other than a conspiracy theory ehrnst Aug 2019 #110
Unless it's praising Senator Sanders, how could it possibly be 'real' journalism? ehrnst Aug 2019 #87
Good choice to fold when you're holding a poor hand. ehrnst Aug 2019 #77
So Bezos controls the actions of every Amazon employee, but none at the WaPo? yardwork Aug 2019 #74
Um ... crazytown Aug 2019 #78
So you're saying that Marty Baron is lying when he says that he is? ehrnst Aug 2019 #83
If Marty Baron is all that you say he is, crazytown Aug 2019 #86
Why should be believe he is what you say he is? He is a celebrated journalist and editor. ehrnst Aug 2019 #90
Then I wish him luck. crazytown Aug 2019 #99
Would you feel the same about the integrity of the staff for a politician ehrnst Aug 2019 #101
I would like to give you very detailed and comprehensive crazytown Aug 2019 #104
You haven't stated *why* he should resign. Because you think he's lying about ehrnst Aug 2019 #103
I have never said Mr. Baron is lying. crazytown Aug 2019 #106
You state that what he says can't true. That's accusing him of lying. ehrnst Aug 2019 #107
