Why is Jeff Bezos playing nice with the President?

Pavlovski, ceo of rumble, posits that Bezos is most acutely worried about amazon web services (aws), and that a Trump 2.0 and his doj or other agencies, or in general, could cause it major hurt.

N.S.: So, that’s what “aws” means in internet publication fruit salad code.

Like I said,"As if anyone pays attention to a paper's endorsement anymore "

BEZOS EXPLAINS "TRUST AND BIAS ISSUES" DICTATED NEW POLICY OF NO WAPO ENDORSEMENTS.

(ZH)"Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose. Reality is an undefeated champion. It would be easy to blame others for our long and continuing fall in credibility (and, therefore, decline in impact), but a victim mentality will not help. Complaining is not a strategy. We must work harder to control what we can control to increase our credibility.

"Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, “I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.” None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one. Eugene Meyer, publisher of The Washington Post from 1933 to 1946, thought the same, and he was right. By itself, declining to endorse presidential candidates is not enough to move us very far up the trust scale, but it’s a meaningful step in the right direction. I wish we had made the change earlier than we did, in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it. That was inadequate planning, and not some intentional strategy.

"I would also like to be clear that no quid pro quo of any kind is at work here. Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision. It was made entirely internally."

GRA:Do I believe him? Hellllll no. Change the bias in your reporting and I'll rethink my initial reaction.
