“Quick don’t look is this the statement for Disney Plus, Max, or The Washington Post,” The Bulwark’s Tim Miller tweeted. Forbes tech and innovation executive editor John Paczkowski, meanwhile, connected the motto with that of Amazon, whose founder Jeff Bezos also owns the Post. Reporters also poked fun at the paper’s pie-in-the-sky projections of getting the majority of Americans to become paying readers of the Post. According to the Times, Bezos has been looking to shift the paper’s focus for years now to attract more right-leaning readers from the heartland. Since Trump’s November win, Amazon has donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund and l icensed a documentary on Melania Trump for $40 million.
