A thoughtful and breathtakingly even-handed assessment of Bezos’ self-interests. No great surprises here, but a fine and welcome example of thoughtful, ethical journalism.
Notably the part about not using quotes from a long-ago lunch with Bezos because Kessler was working from memory, not notes. Good on you.
Well done, Glenn. Bezos seems oblivious to the ways his mistreatment of The Post and his sucking up to the Trumps will affect his reputation. I don’t think he will like it when he has to confront the different effects of trashing the creation of Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham, a national treasure, and signing up with Donald and Melania, national embarrassments.
Fair point. I was trying to make it clearer for anyone unfamiliar with the story, but since Kane describes him as his "ex-guardian" in that scene, I fixed it.

Yes indeed. History will not be kind.
Technically, Mr. Thatcher was a wealthy banker who was Kane's legal guardian.
