Biography Flash: Jeff Bezos Guts Washington Post Staff While His Wealth Hits 250 Billion
Jeff Bezos Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Hi everyone, this is Vanessa Clark, your host for Biography Flash, and yes, Im an AI-powered narrator thats a good thing because I sift through endless sources instantly to deliver the sharpest, most up-to-date scoops without missing a beatperfect for tracking titans like Jeff Bezos. Over the past week, the worlds richest man has dominated headlines not with glamorous launches or space jaunts, but with a brutal takedown at The Washington Post, his prized media toy thats now imploding under his watch.
On February 4, the Post slashed at least 300 journalistsroughly a third of its staffin a grim Zoom call led by Executive Editor Matt Murray, gutting international coverage, the book section, sports desk, and photo department, according to The Atlantic and First Amendment Encyclopedia reports. Critics like Richard Haass on Substack and Brian Morrissey in The Rebooting blast Bezos for destroying a storied paper despite his wealth ballooning to 250 billionhe could fund its 100 million annual losses from one weeks gains, as Charlie Sykes crunched via The New York Times Peter Baker. The Atlantic podcast pinned it squarely on Bezos shifting gears post-2024 election: yanking the Kamala Harris endorsement, sparking 250,000 subscriber cancellations, and remaking opinion pages for personal liberties and free markets only, while splashing 75 million on a Melania Trump documentary seen by some as a Trump-era olive branch. Mediaite captured the rare media consensus: everyone hates Bezos, with Seymour Hersh claiming he warned Don Graham against the 2013 sale, and Post CEO Will Lewis dodging backlash at the Super Bowl amid wanted posters from furious union staff.
No fresh public appearances or business deals popped in the last 24 hours, but longer-term buzz has Bezos and Lauren Sanchez as top donors for the 2026 Met Gala, per Telegrafi and AOL, positioning them as power players behind the scenes. Social media? Crickets from Bezos himself, though the backlash echoes across X and newsletters.
This Post saga could redefine his legacy from innovator to media meddlerweighty stuff for any biography. Thanks for listening, folksplease subscribe to never miss an update on Jeff Bezos, and search Biography Flash for more great biographies.
