erin, is it jeff bezos moving to the right?is he just kissing the rink as whatever that dude was saying? >> i don't think he is moving to the right i think he is moving to sanity and towards the center. let's remember this is not anything new. i think editorial boards are the way of the past i don't think we need any disconnected people telling us who that we should vote for president you can share your opinion i'm here for that but this is nonsense. remember in the 2024 cycle all these left-wing talking heads talking about he is suppressing the press and freedom. when michael bloomberg was running for president of the united states he told his publication, bloomberg, to not cover the other democrats and the primary negatively. so we want to talk about freedom of the press and manipulation there is one example of a mountain of where this has happened. so you know what? if you want to move towards the center and start having people red your publication again this is a good start.

he's long been a rival of jeff bezos so i don't see how he can't be concerned. trump promised vengeance and he seems to be delivering on that promise during his first five weeks or so in office. howie: right. it seems to me bezos can crusade wherever he wants but this business about choking off opinions is why so many post fans are upset. marty barron, thanks so much. next on mediabuzz karoline leavitt on the showdown with zelenskyy and much, much more. oh yeah. consolidate bad debt and save money for your next goal. take a swing at your kitchen reno... meant that literally. or design your actual dream wedding. all your ambitions. all in one app. sofi personal loans. low fixed rates. borrow up to 100 k. no fees required. go to sofi.com to view your rate. sofi. get your money right. ruri: ichi, ni, san, shi...

he is deeply disappointed in the direction that jeff bezos seemingly wants to take the paper. but there's all this stuff happening. one of the other things that is is worrisome to me is another thing happened this week. there's so much news. trump came out and said he wants to sue media outlets for using anonymous sources, and people at home might not really know why that's important. but if you're a rape victim, if you're a dissident, if you're a whistleblower, these are how we get your stories. and for all the maga idiots clamoring for the epstein flight list, you know what? we only know about epstein's crimes because of anonymous sources. and so there's so much threatening the first amendment. >> now it's the bedrock of. >> journalism. >> it is the bedrock. and there's so much threatening. the first amendment. >> right. >> now wants it's not just good enough for them to start writing nice things about him. he wants 60 minutes and cbs to go away to be punished. they've already started to try to punish pbs and npr. there are some real concrete ways that they've tried to to go

jeff bezos overhauls "the washington post" opinion section, says it will focus on personal libertiesy he wrote: i'm writing to let you know about a change coming to to our opinion pages. we're going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties ask is free markets. i also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and opinion. i'm excited for us to do -- fill that void together. of course, the opinion page editor decided to resign instead of go along with this. these are some of your colleagues in the white house briefing room, but there's a sea change. peter: but the reason that jeff bezos is a billionaire, maybe trillionaire, we have to check, is because he's a smart businessman. and they made -- he's also in great shape now. he looks great. but they made a big decision a couple years ago a to be hard on trump. now they are making a business decision to maybe the fortunes of "the washington post" will be better if they either go easier on him or just talk about something else. charlie: yeah. and it is kind of remarkab

and that means that it's going to be hard for bezos to step away. if someone tries to influence what is on that page, if someone tries to pressure him through his businesses. in the past, when marty baron was the editor, bezos could say, listen, i'm leaving it to them. i'm hands off. he did still face some pressure and some trouble from the trump administration, but he could say, there's really nothing i can do for you because i'm leaving it to the people at the paper to decide what's in the paper. he can't say that anymore. he owns the opinion page. and when he talks about personal freedom and free markets, that might raise some questions. if you are honestly covering this administration, suppose there's a president who puts a bunch of tariffs on a bunch of countries. if you are in favor of free markets, what is your opinion section going to say about that? suppose there's an administration that is going against left wing ideology, but at the same time they're breaking up the checks and balances that are a guardian of our liberties. what do you say

meanwhile, this week, jeff bezos, billionaire owner of. >> the washington. >> post, said the paper'snow be focused on personal liberties and free markets. in today's post, columnist dana dana milbank notes, this much is clear. if we, as a newspaper and as a country are to defend his twin pillars, then we must redouble our fight against the single greatest threat to personal liberties and free markets in the united states. today, president donald trump. dana milbank joins me now. dana, excuse my mispronouncing pronunciation of. >> rotors, rotors, rotors, readers. >> but i'm glad to have you, my friend. i'm glad to have you. look, i want to start with this, this this idea of what's happening right now, which is sort of emblematic, symptomatic, i guess, of what we see happening at the post. you remember the white house correspondents association, you write about how this move against, you know, one of those pillars is playing out. how does it show authoritarianism and threaten all of our freedoms? could you just explain where you where you were going with your piece today? >> particular

i could bash the press a little or at least the owner of jonathan's newspaper, we are helping jeff bezose says we are not going to have an opinion section in the washington post that does not send, that is just not journalism. i have seen this from entrepreneurs, why would you publish something you disagree with? they don't get it. that's what we do. your loyalty to democracy is higher than one ideology ardent another. the idea that we have a major newspaper that does not publish dissent can't be. amna: thank you both for being here and engaging always. geoff: the brazilian film i'm still here will be vying this weekend for best international film and best picture and the star, fernanda torres already the winner in the best risk category at the golden globes also competing for an oscar. jeffrey brown talks with her for our arts and culture series, canvas. >> [speaking portuguese] >> in the drama i'm still here, we meet a family living what appears to be a blissful mystic life near the beach in rio de janeiro. but this is 1970's brazil under a military dictatorship and their world is abou
