Liberty Losers

Apparently the now former editor of the Washinton Post doesn't like the new format:

Bezos made the announcement to the Post staff on Tuesday. “We’ll cover other topics too of course,” he added, “but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” “I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical,” Bezos continued. “And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.” He stressed that “Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.” Of Shipley, Bezos said, “I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t ‘hell yes,’ then it had to be ‘no.’” “After careful consideration, David decided to step away.”

Darn that whole freedom thing...
