He doesn't want the Washington Post to survive any more than Trump wants the Kennedy Center to thrive or Musk wanted Twitter to serve as a genuine global town square.
They want to co-opt these venerable institutions, and when they can't, they destroy them. Deliberately. And that's what's happening.

Redistricting bill sails through House, faces troubled waters in the Senate - Maryland Matters
The House gave final approval Monday to a bill that would redraw the state's eight congressional districts, following an exhaustive four hours of passionate, sometimes personal debate.
This part of the Maryland Matters article on the gerrymander bill:
βBill is likely to be assigned to the Rules Committee in the Senate. The committee holds no hearings, does not meet regularly and has no staff. It serves as a legislative island of misfit toys for late-filed or unwanted bills.β

I got another one: Let's say you have a net worth of $500,000. Jeff Bezos spending $100 million a year to maintain the Washington Post would be the equivalent of you spending $200 a year.
In other words, less than $17/month. Roughly the cost of Netflix. To maintain a storied institution.

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money.
The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

Screenshot of a statement posted on CIA.gov reading as follows:
***
One of CIAβs oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. The World Factbook served the Intelligence Community and the general public as a longstanding, one-stop basic reference about countries and communities around the globe. Letβs take a quick look into the history of The World Factbook.
Over many decades, The World Factbook evolved from a classified to unclassified, hardcopy to electronic product that added new categories, and even new global entities. The original classified publication, titled The National Basic Intelligence Factbook, launched in 1962. The first unclassified companion version was issued in 1971. A decade later it was renamed The World Factbook. In 1997, The World Factbook went digital and debuted to a worldwide audience on CIA.gov, where it garnered millions of views each year.
The World Factbook appealed to researchers, news organizations, teachers, students, and international travelers. Some readers even inquired whether their preferred geographic designation or world entity could be included on the high-profile site.
Finally, only CIA insiders would know that officers donated some of their personal travel photos to The World Factbook, which hosted more than 5,000 photographs that were copyright-free for anyone to access and use.
Though the World Factbook is gone, in the spirit of its global reach and legacy, we hope you will stay curious about the world and find ways to explore it⦠in person or virtually.
The CIA World Factbook, a reliable source of information about the countries of the world, has been publicly available since 1997. It is now going away.
Please consider supporting @wikipedia.org and @ourworldindata.org. The world desperately needs trustworthy data.
