Bezos tells Trump Washington Post was his worst investment before a sweeping newsroom purge
Bezos reportedly told Donald Trump that the Washington Post was his worst investment, calling its staff 'terrible' and saying they don't listen, per excerpts from a forthcoming book. About two months later he ordered a sweeping downsizing at the Post, cutting roughly a third of its newsroom, including photographers and the sports section, as the paper embraced a new editorial stance built on personal liberties and free markets.
