I mean it might as well be written by the New York Post, Bezos has hollowed it out so thoroughly. Who's even left on the editorial board? His phone-hacking editor-in-chief? Libertarian 2x4 enthusiast Megan McArdle? World's stupidest human Marc Thiessen? Bow-tied relic George Will?

While billionaire Jeff Bezos is popping champagne bottles in Venice with his rich celebrity friends at his $20 million wedding, he wants to lecture struggling New Yorkers that Zohran Mamdani is bad for New York City.

The same Bezos-owned Washington Post that pulled its endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Bezos stated it is a "principled decision" to "avoid the perception of bias and to return to the Post's roots as an independent paper." Sure, Jeff.
