There has been some speculation that Bezos might sell the Post, but he recently told one interested buyer that it is not for sale. “He doesn’t really care what people think of him,” Baron, the former executive editor, told me. Last year, after deciding to block the paper’s endorsement, Bezos wrote, “You can see my wealth and business interests as a bulwark against intimidation, or you can see them as a web of conflicting interests. Only my own principles can tip the balance from one to the other. I assure you that my views here are, in fact, principled.” Still, he added, “you are of course free to make your own determination.”

He just told you that he's going to do whatever the hell he wants to do, whenever the hell he wants to do it and that he knows he has enough power and money that the statement is true.

Bezos was never Your guy. Bezos is Bezos's guy.
