Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos announced Wednesday that the paper will no longer publish opinion editorials opposing “personal liberties” or “free markets.” This follows some 200,000 digital readers who canceled their subscriptions following the Washington Post’s decision not to offer an endorsement ahead of the 2024 election.

The billionaire owner of The Washington Post is directing its opinion section to defend personal liberties and the free market in a shift that prompted the editor of that page to resign.

Washington Post editorial page editor David Shipley is leaving the paper as its opinion section shifts its focus to supporting and defending the topics of personal liberties and free markets, owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos wrote in a memo to staff on Wednesday.
