Jeff Bezos's decision to distance himself from the newspaper's moral anchor and his desire to appease Donald Trump have led to the current mismanagement.

“And now he's made a decision that he's going to buy a $500 million yacht. He's going to get himself remarried. He's having some glorified middle-ag crisis road trip. And he's disconnected to the moral moral anchor of what he had.”

The newspaper's current crisis is driven by the ownership's disconnect from the readership and management's failure to maintain a viable news organization.

“So, I think it's ownership and leadership getting out of touch with their populations and their readers and their subscribers.”
