In media news, The Washington Post’s opinion editor David Shipley resigned Wednesday after billionaire owner Jeff Bezos announced op-eds would start focusing on “personal liberties and free markets.” It’s the latest sign of turmoil at the newspaper, coming four months after The Washington Post declined to make a presidential endorsement, leading thousands of readers to cancel their subscriptions. Former Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan wrote, “It’s all about getting on board with Trump. … Bezos no longer wants to own an independent news organization. He wants a megaphone and a political tool that will benefit his own commercial interests.”
