It didn't take me long to go from finding it interesting that Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post to being surprised to learn that Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

maybe Klein just balked at having to retitle the website Relentlessblog

TAKE THE SHOT

I've never understood his place at the Post. I don't even know how to find Wonkblog on their website without a direct link. I'm surprised he's stayed there as long as he has.

Not surprising - the Post has been de-kleining for years.

This is the man who decided memes were the future of policy blogging

Do you think they'll name his replacement's blog "Better than Ezra"?

by **husbands** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:26 pm

so we're thinking $10 mil will really make this site pop, buzzfeed for smart ppl, you know what we mean?

by **powderfinger** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:41 pm

I would like to see him do a site with Vox Media. I can see it being a good fit. They are based in DC, have some political roots but no political properties, and they have a great platform.

by **Murgatroid** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:50 pm

could someone explain to me why a site for graphs needs 10 mill

Fuck, this sounds insanely plausible. I should find out if this is happening.

Why does Bezos's face always look like a frat bro taking a picture with his balls in the mouth of a passed-out person

by **slowen** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:56 pm

neil irwin is leaving, too (or done left)

Walk into Bezos' office like I'm the shit
Tell em give me ten million or I'ma quit
