A veteran Washington Post -Columnist stopped the newspaper after 41 years because bosses would not let her publish that owner Jeff Bezos hits – and she brought the story elsewhere.
In a scorched Earth -essay for rival outlet The New Yorker, Ruth Marcus explained why she stopped.
She wanted to publish a long -winded piece that complained about how Bezos disturbed the editorial process.
New boss Will Lewis would not let her – so she resigned.
The New Yorker published the Op-ED together with her essay, in which she says that her complaints were 'gentle' to the point of embarrassing.
'I thought it was important to put my reasons on the record, “said Marcus.
She then complained that journalistic freedoms were 'dangerously eroded' under Bezos and Lewis.
“I love the post. It breaks my heart to conclude that I have to leave, “she said.
“What his internal motivations are, it requires many readers not to suspect that the personal business interests of Bezos do not play a role here,” she continued.
