I don't buy the idea that Bezos is intentionally killing the Post. If he wanted to do that he could have just bought it and shut it down. Plenty of rich people have done that. The problem is he hired a Murdoch tabloid team to manage it and it's not a Murdoch tabloid and you can't run it like one.

Bezos, along with Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and others used to be reliable democrats and donors, but have become red-pilled during the Trump era. The latest to get red-pilled is Marc Benioff.
It’s been sad to watch
But why would the finances of the paper be relevant to Bezos if he wanted to keep it open?
but also his own priorities shifted, and he truly doesn't give a damn anymore about news reporting
