Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post, has addressed the media industry's credibility gap by stating that most people believe the media is biased. He explained that the Post's decision to stop endorsing presidential candidates was a principled one and not related to a meeting between former President Donald Trump and executives from Bezos' company Blue Origin. The announcement caused controversy with resignations and cancellations, including criticism from reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Bezos emphasized the need for change in the media landscape and vowed to fight against the paper's irrelevance.
