Baron said on Mediaite’s "Press Club" podcast Monday that he was "very disturbed" and "shocked" by that decision. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
"It’s not something I anticipated because my impression was that Bezos had always argued for a variety of opinions on the opinion pages — that they should reflect the range of opinions in the country," Baron said. "There’s always debate about policy, and a news organization like The Washington Post has a tradition of carrying a wide variety of opinions. It should make sure that continues. So I was stunned by this and deeply disturbed by it."
