Washington Post Sold To Amazon's Jeff Bezos For $250 Million Politico By DYLAN BYERS 8/5/13 4:33 PM EDT Excerpt: The Washington Post has been sold to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for $250 million, an historic transition that brings an end to eight decades of ownership by the Washington Post Company.

"That’s essential and would have happened with or without new ownership. snip Full Story
