Amazon, owned by Bezos, was a significant contributor to funding for those efforts, which the Post failed to mention in its original version of its article. Amid the ensuing backlash, the text has since been updated to reflect that fact. 

The Post’s editorial board called Trump’s White House ballroom a win against campaigners not liking change, and a shot across the bow of NIMBY protesters everywhere.

Other instances reportedly include the paper describing the Trump administration’s plans for smaller nuclear reactors as “a worthy gamble,” without noting Bezos’ holdings in the sector, as well as blasting safety regulations on self-driving cars in Washington, D.C. without making clear Bezos’ autonomous car manufacturer, Zoox, was soon planning to expand operations in the city.

This is so cute. NPR being mad at WaPo like, “C’mon, man you should be a real journalism producer”, as if NPR hasn’t been soft-peddling centrist positions for decades. as if WaPo didn’t torch itself in its Faustian bargain.
