Washington Post drops ‘leftist dogma’ in effort to boost readership: Tiana Doescher

Published February 26, 2025 5:57pm ET



The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe Doescher suggested that Jeff Bezos’s changes to the Washington Post, including dropping its “leftist dogma,” could be a bid to boost its readership.

Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, revealed on X that the paper would no longer publish opinion editorials opposing “personal liberties” or “free markets ” and would instead focus on writing “every day in support and defense” of them. The change, part of the “vibe shift” taking place across the nation, is a stark contrast to how people on “the Left” have ditched any notion of free speech or personal liberties being good.
