Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ The Washington Post is projected to lose around $100 million in 2023, two individuals familiar with the Post’s finances told The New York Times.
Additionally, two other individuals briefed on the matter disclosed that the Post is projected to fall short of anticipated advertising revenue for 2023, according to the NYT. The Post has faced challenges in expanding its paid customer base since the 2020 election when it reached a peak of 3 million digital subscriptions compared to about 2.5 million now.
The four sources discussed the Post’s financial affairs on the condition of anonymity, according to the NYT. The Post’s CEO Fred Ryan announced in June that he would step down from his position in August. Ryan’s mistakes were largely responsible for the low morale at the company, executive director of the Post Sally Buzzbee said, individuals familiar with her statements told the NYT.
Since January, as staff morale became low and the business was facing challenges, Bezos increased his participation in the Post’s operations, according to the NYT.
Bezos acquired the Post for $250 million in 2013 and his vision was to convert the outlet from regional to global, according to the NYT.

“I’m very enthusiastic about what we can do here at The Washington Post in the decade ahead,” the Post’s interim CEO Patty Stonesifer told the NYT. “Jeff’s second decade of ownership of The Post should be even more exciting.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
