Bezos seems needlessly cruel as he kills off the Post bit by bit. Why not just pull the plug? It's probably too late to sell it off to some media vulture such as the Thompson chain.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
