Jeff Bezos said that Washington Post editorial page editor David Shipley decided to resign rather than lead the opinion section under the new policy.

The storied paper's op-ed page will now serve to promote Bezos' vision of "personal liberties and free markets" in America. With those under assault by the Trump administration, there will be a lot to talk about.

Jeff Bezos is exerting more influence over the content of The Washington Post opinion pages, as he announced that the editorials will now focus on “defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”
