This headline informs us Fortune fell for Trump's latest grift. $35M marketing campaign, theatrical release and transparently counterfeit buzz are required to maintain the illusion Melania is a legitimate production and not merely a Maltese Falcon successfully delivered to its intended recipient.
Narcissists such as Bezos care only about the fulfillment of their own personal ambitions. WaPo's transformation to a fascist propaganda machine occurred gradually, as Bezos ceased to care about his legacy and saw the paper as currency he could trade for the benefits bestowed by his fealty to Trump.
But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

Too many people who should know better think that attacking the first whore documentary will be effective, or they don't and just use it to rally rage from the tribe.
Both are problematic.
The $75 Mil is trivial compared to what Besos pumps into the disinformation machine
I've noticed that, with increasing frequency, too many of the people who should know better arrive at the wrong conclusions. I'm not sure if that's by delusion or design. It's discouraging either way. Most of these people enjoy large followings and those wrong conclusions are seldom challenged.
How ironic is it when WaPo supporters are lashing out at the Melania doc when both the WaPo & the Melania doc serve as multi-million dollar "prestige" assets that seem increasingly disconnected from their actual audiences?
Too many people believe Melania is a legitimate production rather than a tribute, paid by Bezos to renew his vows of fealty to Trump and the blessings bestowed by that association. So many people, so easily grifted.

Bezos' transformation of WaPo into a right wing propaganda outlet began years before his decision not to endorse Harris. The paper, under his control, was always hostile to any position left of center. That hostility increased, year by year, until Bezos abandoned all pretenses in 2024.

The $75M investment in WaPo was never a possibility. Bezos bought the paper as a profit center and to enhance his legacy. He no longer cares about his legacy. WaPo is nothing but currency Bezos can trade to increase the benefits bestowed by his fealty to Donald Trump.

What a wild and deceptively inaccurate chart. Almost every one of those supposedly leftist publications belong in the center; most of them on the right. I've discovered the majority of the media bias websites suffer from the same either delusional or more likely intentional deceptions.

Billionaires never intended to save us. Only to enslave and consume us. Bezos bought WaPo as a hedge, to enhance his legacy. He quit caring about his legacy. His transformation of WaPo into a propaganda machine was a business decision, made solely to increase the benefits of his alliance with Trump.

CBS and WaPo are dead. CBS killed by Ellison as a tribute to Donald Trump for green lighting the Skydance deal and WaPo as Bezos' regular payment for his subscription to Trump's in-group. The erasure of the free press in America is another step toward totalitarianism. The end goal of project 2025.
