Here's my peasant take.
Rich dudes buy newspapers to manufacture outcomes they want. Elections, policies, image PR, and smearing rivals.
The WAPO failed to get him what he wanted in 2024 election cycle.
Therefore, Bezos is making changes so he can get what he wants in 2026.
He said in his statement about not-endorsing Kamala that WaPo had to change because they didn't have influence anymore.
