…of the current context of corruption. This makes the article entirely disingenuous.

Also, although public opinion had a lot to do with the vote requiring the release of the files, it was actually Congress that made the official demand, the way they said it should be. All the people did was express their opinion to their representatives-exactly the way it’s supposed to happen.

I have no illusions that Bezos bought the post for any purpose other than doing exactly this, as well as blocking the old Post’s more progressive opinion. And let’s not have any illusions about Bezos needing subscriptions. This is all chump change for him.
