The Washington Post

U.S. center-left

The Washington Post is a major U.S. daily newspaper owned personally by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Its news reporting leans center-left and has a long history of investigative and White House coverage, while its opinion section was reoriented in 2025 to focus on 'personal liberties and free markets' at Bezos's direction. Its coverage of the second Trump administration mixes hard-hitting investigative reporting and critical opinion pieces on press freedom and civil liberties with occasional restraint attributed to Bezos's business interests and closer ties to the administration.
