“In an editorial this week, the conservative Wall Street Journal chided Jeff Bezos, the owner of the liberal [sic] Washington Post, for Bezos’s announcement that henceforth the Post would be standing for ‘personal liberties and free markets.’ The Journal pointed out that Bezos’s phraseology is remarkably similar to that employed by the Journal, which is ‘free markets and free people.’ The Journal wanted to remind people that they were first to promote this freedom and free-market philosophy but also wanted people to know that they welcome the Post serving as their new ideological ‘wingman.’ There is just one big problem, however, with the Journal’s and the Post’s devotion to ‘liberty’ and ‘free markets.’ That big problem is the matter of definition.” (02/28/25)
