Trump Praises Bezos for Washington Post Changes Amid Controversy

In a recent interview, President Donald Trump expressed praise for Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, highlighting the changes he has implemented at the newspaper. Trump stated that he believes Bezos is 'trying to do a real job' with the Post, a shift from previous perceptions. This comes after Bezos announced a new direction for the newspaper's opinion section, focusing on 'personal liberties and free markets,' which has led to a backlash among staff, including the departures of notable opinion editor David Shipley and columnist Ruth Marcus. Critics have accused Bezos of steering the Post towards conservative politics, aligning with Trump's sentiments. Despite his praise for Bezos, Trump maintained that overall media treatment has not improved since his first term. Trump's comments were made on Sinclair's 'Full Measure' program, where he also mentioned that tech companies have become more supportive of him since his election.
