He doesn't own Amazon, but he held a lot of his shares and has about 83 million or 18%. He may own all of Washington Post or he may have let employees buy in, after he put up the $250 million to buy it (and obviously more since then). On my iPad it says "WP Company Llc" is the entity behind washingtonpost.com.

Not many conservatives are book store owners, internet based or not.

Bezos hasn't changed the staff at the Post. Nevertheless, WaPo has been ramping up its outright lies about Trump. It's a daily barrage. I will keep my Prime membership for now, but I am shifting away from using Amazon where I can. I recently bought a laptop harddrive from eBay instead of from Amazon. Same price in both places, a few extra clicks to buy it from eBay. For online streaming, I'm checking Netflix first. I'm not buying more Amazon season passes to series like Mr. Robot. I'll just wait 'til they're "free with Prime." I was thinking of buying my wife the latest and greatest Kindle Reader (the Oasis), but not now. There's no 'boycott Amazon" movement that I know about, but maybe there should be.
