Jeff Bezos wants to add more conservative columnists to the Washington Post’s opinion section to reach a wider audience. Bezos has expressed this desire to publisher William Lewis, aiming to balance the paper’s perspectives.

Critics have noted that the Washington Post is perceived as too far left in its coverage.

The announcement comes after the news outlet refused to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, the first time since the tradition started in 1976.
