Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron bashed Sen. Bernie Sanders for pushing a “conspiracy theory” that the paper’s news coverage is influenced by its owner, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos

.

“I talk about that all of the time,” Sanders continued. “And then I wonder why The Washington Post — which is owned by Jeff Bezos, who owns Amazon — doesn’t write particularly good articles about me. I don’t know why. But I guess maybe there’s a connection. Maybe we helped raise the minimum wage at Amazon to 15 bucks an hour.”

Ok, forget about favorable Bernie articles. What about Amazon paying no taxes and how terrible that is? Has The Washington Post written about Bezos' Amazon not paying their fair share of taxes? 🤔

Sander's is probably right - reporters all know who the boss is and act accordingly - but his whole schtick is to rail against evil corporations and, lest we forget, the Washington Post itself is an evil corporation.

Panic for Bernie and his drones. Warren is moving past him. Lashes out like Trump with conspiracy theory, no proof. Sad and pathetic. Nothing to see here.

I’m growing worried about Bernie..

Calling out bias in the media does not make you a conspiracy theorist. Bernie2020

Bernie2020 The MSM hates that he is for the people and our needs. NoMoreCorporateWelfare

Sanders is fast losing as he falls into 3rd place

Let's put it this way. No news media gets paid but how many truthful statements they make.

Bernie can’t go away soon enough.
