my question what are Jeff Bastos politics is even have any politics
I don't think you know look I don't know what is politics are
I I know that he is a self-made man but for the three hundred thousand dollars
worth have
loan the government's parents to start the Amazon but you know it
think Mitt Romney says yet to take a risk
and borrowing the money from parents but I am
I think you're going to see
look from an editorial standpoint could the Washington Post get any worse
honestly Tom
I think that he's I don't expect
to see much of a change from the reporting other washington Post
may it may or may not get
better there may or may not be more resources I think what we're seeing here
with this you know there's been some talk that it's basically a hobby or
vanity project
now I think what we're seeing is arm
an expansion
I love but if you look at the washington post as a portal
and you see how well he could integrate with the with the Amazon
terms of delivering digital content
I am this
is I you know that's where I think this is going
I mean you know for a guy I love that happen net worth even do an experiment
to see
you know what happens if you're starting to see this already
like in the way that term movie studios are
integrating you know sort of the magazine stories but your integrating a
publishing platform which is what Amazon is in many respects as well as a content
delivery mechanism
we're a content generator one that they can wholly own
where I would not be surprised to see
assertive like this leading to you know
the publishing love a
what washington post stories in long-form stories
entering you know getting directly to your Kindle this is where the washington
post will be
you know preloaded onto your Kindle
I am integrated he it will also be
you know prime he I think you could be seeing the beginnings of a vein other
news
like online news so
network like I'm not even have the words to release her expresses but I mean
think about what Huffington Post is done
and then contemplate that Amazon
is already on you know Huffington Post does not have
a place on your Roku or does but it's not as readily available
it doesn't already have people who are watching
movies and TV shows the way that you can on Amazon
so the idea I love
I'm gonna watch this movie I'm gonna watch a.m. I'm gonna watch a madman on a
you know Amazon Prime and then I'm going to
some watch live news are on that same device
via Amazon it it makes total sense
in that respect pesos is described as a friend to the family which is owned
washing pose for 80 years some other billionaire recently but
The Boston Globe be at the owner of the socks was it henry
I think it was I am the oligarchs a solidifying the machine to continue
massage the American consumer public mass groupthink
baisers was quoted as believing that their print newspapers will not exist in
20 years
I think he walked out back but I mean is that really terribly shocking
ten years ago we didn't have YouTube
nine years ago
I
twenty years it just seems like a just an infinite horizon
when it comes to
technology
