Bezos Gets It Backwards: He Should Run Amazon Like the Post and the Post Like Amazon - Chronicles

First, a disclaimer: we love the convenience, pricing, and assortment of products at Amazon: clearly it is consumer focused. In contrast, the Post has long since abandoned its mission to hold government accountable: they are an American Pravda for one party.

So, how could such a successful business CEO as Bezos not apply Amazon principles to the Post. And by the way, Amazon appears to be run like a sweat shop, per the article.

My take: Jeff Bezos is totally self-centered, striving for personal power, prestige, and wealth at the expense of anyone he can use.

What do you conclude?
