For at least the last 10-12 years, the one constant of the wapo editorial page was "we hate Mr. Trump".

All day every day, hate, hate, hate.

If they are going to drop that routine, I can understand why the employees would be terrified. That would be a drastic change.

A varied opinion page might lead to more national readership.

Oh, come on… Tomorrow morning there will be an investigative report about how WaPo is being kowtowing to the far right. Written by WaPo staff, of course.

Maybe Bezos wants to try to scoop up some right-leaning readers to replace all the left-leaning ones who've already left.

I would agree but he’s not really talking about that. He’s talking about recreating the WSJ editorial page.
