Exposing a Fake News Outlet: The Washington Post

Ever since Amazon.com’s founder and CEO Jeff Bezos bought the venerable newspaper The Washington Post, media commentators have talked about biases the newspaper seems to hold that coincide with Bezos’ interests. Throughout the 2016 presidential election campaign, for instance, the Washington Post was one of the staunchest supporters of Hillary Clinton and bashers of President-Elect Donald Trump.

One of the primary reasons for this, among others, was likely Clinton’s support for adding more people to the H1-B visa program for foreign-born workers to work in technology companies such as Amazon. Foreign-born workers are cheaper than American ones, and one of Amazon’s biggest costs is its engineering labor. So is it any surprise that the paper strongly backed Clinton for president?

Another item that goes unmentioned in the Post is the CIA’s contracting of $600 million worth of cloud computing services from Amazon in 2013, which in any other newspaper sharing the same ownership with a company that had a contract that size would be cause for a disclaimer at the bottom of all news articles relating to government intelligence agencies or their programs.

So when the Post publishes an article about the CIA’s claims of Russian hacking affecting the outcome of the recent presidential election, one has to wonder whose interest is really being defended. Watch as The Resident’s Lori Harfenist breaks the issue down for viewers.
