The New Yorker explores the ambiguous influence Jeff Bezos exerts over the Washington Post, particularly in the context of his relationship with Lauren Sanchez. Despite high-profile appearances and speculation about his decisions aligning with Donald Trump's MAGA agenda, the article highlights the uncertainty of Bezos's vision, as he declined to comment. Observations from former Post editors suggest Sanchez could be a significant influence behind the scenes, casting her as a pivotal figure in the direction of the publication, though her own political stance remains unclear.
Actually, no one in this lengthy New Yorker article could say for sure what Bezos' vision for the Washington Post might be including Bezos, who declined to speak to writer Clare Malone.
A former senior Post editor suggested to Malone that the world's second wealthiest man is probably not making any big moves without consulting his socialite girlfriend.
It's not clear what Sanchez's politics are, but the former Los Angeles-based entertainment reporter seems to like being at the nexus of attention and power.
The Daily Beast has dubbed her America's Marie Antoinette, referencing her high-profile lifestyle and controversial moments, like her space ride with Katy Perry and Gayle King.
