Here is why Bezo's is buying the post:

If the media were "liberal," it would serve the public interest and shine a light on important issues of the day. More people would also have a better understanding of global warming, political lobbying(corruption), government's role in a functioning economy, how much we spend on the military, the ever widening wage gap (that is turning the US into a 3rd world cheap labor pool), hugely corrupt to big to fail banks(hence to big to jail), how trillions of dollars dissappear from the economy and not 1 person is held accoutable and countless other issues.What you’re more likely to see in the media, however, are stories designed to get you to buy their paper, or watch their show, or listen to their radio station. If it bleeds, it leads. This is why the media is concerned with scandal, celebrities, gossip, and fear. There's also plenty of political bickering: Democrats said this, Republicans said that. We let you decide (but we never weigh in with any facts or fact-checking). You know what you will not ever hear? The "liberal media" discussing the corporate media. If anything, our news consists of paid advertisements and outlets too scared of offending anyone to publish much of substance. Investigative journalism is also expensive; entertainment is cheap makes lots more money and keeps the rubes entertained.
