No. The editorial board always did what they thought was best. Bozos is worried about the bottom line. It’s really that simple. I really can’t believe you are asking why contracts would matter to the owner of the paper. That’s disingenuous at best.
And we know all bozos owns is the Washington post, I’m sure he is not worried about how petty trump is and won’t hold it against Amazon, blue origin and whatever else he might own.
