Jeff Bezos, The Washington Post's billionaire owner, recieved harsh criticism from social media users after taking to online platforms to announce that the publication will only publish certain types of pieces in its opinion section.
"This is a sad day for journalism. You are basically self-censoring. Instead of fighting for freedom of speech and standing for our rights - you are giving them all a free pass. Do more, Bezos," said one user in a comment directed at Bezos.
