I agree that Bezos's/ Wash Post disposition relative to the anti-President coup, likely had to be important consideration.
As I noted, 10s of millions of tax payers consider Washington Post is not a newspaper, but a propaganda agent actively involved in to the coup attempt against a constitutionally elected President of US.
Just chucking it of to 'president does not like a news paper' -- is diluting the tremendous affects these things have on the well-being of the country and its citizens, and, (given US position in the world stage) , on the rest of the world.
Additionally, anti-president spying and evidence manufacturing was, in part, orchestrated by leaking to these 'newspapers' and then referencing the generated articles as 'potential evidence' that warrants the investigation.
(eg, leaking the dossier [1] and other fabrications through news organizations )
Some think the anti-president coup attempt in US, is good for the country and for the world.
Some do not.
That probably, defines a big part of person's view, where they stand on awarding contract to AWS vs MS.
(Unless there is tremendous technical evidence that MSs offer will not be competent compared to AWS, or that financial burden on tax budget will be enormously different)
Well, tens of millions of tax payers consider Fox News not a News network at all, but a propaganda agent actively involved in to the coup attempt of a loosely coupled conglomerate of foreign-nation stakeholders and private domestic stakeholders (of which one of them happened to become elevated into presidential office by a minority of the countrys' voters) against the Constitution of the United States.
