The Washington Post

U.S. center-left

The Washington Post is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos through his private holding company Nash Holdings, which purchased it from the Graham family in 2013 for $250 million. Its news coverage has historically leaned center-left, but in February 2025 Bezos overhauled the opinion section to focus exclusively on personal liberties and free markets, prompting staff departures and mass subscription cancellations. News reporting has continued to scrutinize the Trump administration, while the editorial and opinion pages have shifted to a more libertarian, less adversarial direction.
