WaPo must piss Bezos off to no end, because here he is a guy who really believes that work improves the soul, people are naturally lazy, and they need to be driven - and he ends up saddled with this dumb ass newspaper that just sits there and loses money every single year of its existence.

@cjd @sapphire @mothersmurfer Yeah government news. I think news is dead. It's just information now and you process it through your own bias filter.
@sapphire @cjd @mothersmurfer I think the problem with pay walks is that most people don't want to pay when information is so readily available.
