A wave of resignations has hit The Washington Post, triggered by a series of incidents involving critical opinions about owner Jeff Bezos. Notably, columnist Ruth Marcus stepped down, claiming her piece criticizing Bezos was suppressed by the management. Reports indicate that other columnists and editors have also left the paper under similar circumstances, accusing the publication of stifling dissenting voices. This unrest reflects deep-seated concerns about the editorial independence of the paper under Bezos’s ownership, as critics argue that his influence is compromising journalistic integrity and crippling open debate on pressing issues.
