Ex-Washington Post staffer accuses Jeff Bezos of trying to 'survive' Trump rather than save paper

A former staffer of The Washington Post is taking aim at its owner Jeff Bezos, accusing him of prioritizing his survival in the era of Donald Trump rather than saving his paper.

In a piece published Tuesday titled "A Billionaire's Surrender," former Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler began by highlighting Bezos' net worth, noting that he was worth $25 billion in 2013 when he first bought the paper, and now he's worth "about $250 billion" as major layoffs are expected to rock the newsroom.
