Bezos' hiring of Lewis was his shift from hands-off messiah to Murdochian moguling. His endorsement nihilism is cynical transactionalism: If Trump wins, he has a friend; if Harris wins, she is too responsible to be vindictive in regulation or contracts. He wins either way. His #BrokenPost is lost in every way and he clearly does not care. There is no saving the Post from its savior.

Bezos makes +16 Billion/yr.
The Washington Post costs less than 1.25% of his Net Profits/yr.It's a PR expense. Losses mean nothing.
