warren said jeff bezos is the best ceo in the united states. >> really? ise move the "washington post" is being sold to the founder and ceo of amazon.com, jeff bezos. >> it the newspaper in the capital city of the most important country in the world. the "washington post" has an incredibly important role to play in this democracy. i know that when i'm 90, it's going to be one of the things i'm most proud of. >> but skeptics wondered if bezos had a different strategy at play. >> i think his intentions are good. republican billionaires buy football teams. democratic billionaires buy newspaper. it's also a pretty different heat shield, if a liberal newspaper is not if favor of antitrust against bezos, it's just a fantastic way to put sheep's clothing around a wolf. >> and over the next five years, bezos invested even more in the nation's capital. purchasing the largest home in the city. choosing its suburbs for amazon's second headquarters. and spending more on lobbying than any other tech company so far this year. >> amazon is one of the single most influent

jeff bezos made seattle his h.q. for a reason he hardly has to pay any taxes here. on the one hand seattle is booming and you can see this right in front of you the cigar baseball fields the amazon smears are a testament to that booming city but that is only for a few people for the rest of us seattle has become an auto fordable and unlivable place to live in and the working people who. build these towers they go for to live in the same city that they build these buildings and. years of load wages have also cited the company money one study says that in some regions of the u.s. a 3rd of amazon employees depend on government food stamps. what we see the last 10 years is an explosion in homelessness the regular people who go to work but their wages are so stagnant and their rents are skyrocketing so the combination of both of those things is a deadly combination and it ends up making you almost seattle city council wanted to introduce a tax for large companies the money to be used to build affordable housing the topic was soon dropped amazon employs $45000.00 people i

and that's why i was he busy diffuser for that was jeff bezos his vision for the very beginning amazon the one stop shop and it's all about learning from data is that nowadays recording data cost practically nothing so deciding in advance what you have to record and then doing it is much more expensive than simply recording everything utah idaho i did off the charts. simply record everything. online marked when put up with things on an online market there were never put up with on a normal market. bindiya if we imagine amazon doing what it does on a traditional market it's a little market for it would be like walking around with a little jeff bezos behind us always watching what we're looking at what they've always been trying on or prizes we're comparing the qualities we want and preferences we have to. be writing it all down. before leaving and then he would use this information to show us which products best fit our preference those owns. based and songs are going for anything possible maybe that doesn't really sound so bad letting jeff bezos know what we're looking at in his market

and they wondered why "the washington post" which is owned by jeff bezos who owns amazon. >> shannon: tonight the sanders campaign is doubling down, launching its own newsletter called burn notice. today's edition with a fire ant against so-called corporate media. let's turn to steve hilton. great to have you with us. what do you make of this? it's funny because president trump talks a lot about how he gets mistreated by the mainstream media now you have bernie sanders making some of the same accusations but saying it's because media outlets are run by billionaires and corporations. they are never going to treat him fairly because he criticizes them. >> it's uncanny, especially "the washington post." how many times have we seen tweets from the president about jeff bezos, amazon, "washington post" ." i think bernie gets pretty good press coverage frankly, especially considering how crazy some of his ideas are. he's taken seriously. he's become a really good national figure. precisely because his ideas and critiques of various policy areas have been reported. he's made a big impact. he'

. >> michael, did you strike some kind of secret deal with american media inc to sell photos of jeff bezos >> howie, i never sold photo to national enquirer or any publication. let's cut to the chase, everything that i did was to protect jeff and lauren's love affair, anyone who thinks money is a motive is an idiot. >> you told me that you made a deal with the devil, devil being inquirer, you've been cagey of whether or not there was know contract or whether you accepted money from the national inquirer, did you or not? >> well, like i said, since cnn reported that there are federal investigations into the blackmail allegations against ami and hacking against the saudis, what i can say is very limited, in general all make deals with the devil. >> back in march, michael sÁnchez sold the billionaire secrets for $200,000 cost national enquirer, your response? >> the wall street journal got it wrong. >> bezos plan to meet with prosecutors and amazon spokesman declined to comment. i can also report that the top american media executives owner david pecker, president trump's pal have not been ca

jeff bezos, the owner of amazon, owns the post.anders says he's not receiving fair coverage because of his frequent criticism of amazon. >> if you look at the washington post which is owned by the wealthiest guy in the country, jeff bezos. amazon made $10 billion in profits last year. do you know how much they paid in taxes? zero. wonder why the washington post is not one of my great supporters? i wonder why. >> marty baron of the post, he was quick to respond. he said, quote, senator sanders is a member of a large club of politicians of every ideology who complain about their coverage. jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full attendance. >> you know you're doing something right if everybody is ticked off at you. >> we know a thing or two about that at cnn. >> yes, we do. at cnn. one man was having a tough time clearing his throat. a stunning x-ray shows us why. >> ugh. old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. i

>> for jeff bezos, he certainly has a philanthropic arm as well.ent a couple billion dollars on a couple of issues -- homelessness and education. it's the left to be seen with echoes. in contrast, mckenzie bezos has said she plans to take the giving pledge and give a giant chunk of her portion to charity under the gates-buffet scheme. emily: what have we heard from mckenzie bezos? >> we have not heard a lot. she's kind of really low profile here in seattle and nationally. she is an author. she has been involved in anti-bullying for a while. there's a lot of questions about what she does when she decides to exercise her portion or what charities she might put it towards. emily: that said, it almost feels like we are hearing more from jeff's owes himself. he is doing more media interviews, more on the conference circuit, more out in about. do we know why that is? >> i think part of it is the surface area of amazon. they made a big push into hollywood in recent years with the studio's business. they have surface area all over the place. just is owes p

corporations featuring the discussion which lives of jamie diamond jeff bezos apple's tim cook bank of america's bryan wine and lockheed martin is maryland and right the thomas kennedy and philip blake of bear monsanto fame just name a few they are here to bail us out they're here to save us all they're like the knights of the round table minus the chivalry honor and valor in this week they announced in a letter that shareholder value is no longer their main objective yes in light of these times we are living these creatures of executive bonuses and corporate tax breaks to the $1000000000.00 are now entirely focused on delivering value to our customers investing in our employees dealing fairly and ethically with our suppliers and supporting the communities in which we work is supposed to change in heart on how the u.s. corporate world does business intriguingly. just as a recession appears inevitable and there is a very real chance my friends that a socialist could end up president in 2020 i wonder if this is all a coincidence alan murray the c.e.o. of fortune observes more and more c.

so "the post" is saying, we operate completely independent of amazon, jeff bezos. ever feel any pressure from above, especially considering you covered a lot of amazon stories? >> let me be honest, i was at "the post" before bezos bought the company and after. so i got to see both sides of what "the post" was like. and there really wasn't very much difference. the on the difference was that we had to start putting in these disclaimers saying amazon ceo jeff bezos also owns "the washington post." apart from that, i never felt any pressure from editors about how to cover amazon. i never had a story killed that covered amazon. i never had a story that was changed in any way to reflect more positively or negatively on amazon. and if you speak to a lot of my former colleagues, you'll get the same thing. >> and i looked at some of your headlines, you wrote a lot about amazon while you were at "the post." one was during the last black friday, you had a story about protests of what a krilt called inhuman working conditions. you had a story about the president saying amazon

the working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people jeff bezos made a leben 1000000000 dollars last year they didn't pay a nickel in federal income taxes wealthy people should stop paying their fair share of taxes etc. bernie sanders makes my skin crawl and i can't even identify for you what exactly it is because i see him as sort of a know it pro woman candidate or he could seriously bashers billionaires complaining which many of the problems that many americans most americans have suffered just missed most is he just mad the world works and there's of course his you know. because he's threatening the class interests and work on trying to keep him through being elected president you can be very long standing were the. class and. it's definitely an obstacle because they have mormons and conforms and they can reach almost all americans the influence of all americans think it's a question mark but who clearly has a discrete message from the book you knew that was resonating with his voters and supporters in the den already you could get the nomination he could

the working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people jeff bezos made 11000000000 dollars last year they didn't pay a nickel in federal income taxes wealthy people should stop paying their fair share of tax cuts out of. bernie sanders makes like skin crawl and i can't even identify for you what exactly it is but i see him as sort of a pro woman candidate or he could seriously bashers billionaires flaming rich wealthy but many of the problems that many americans most americans suffer masons is richest man the world works and just the course is you know. because he's threatening the class interests and work on him or trying to keep him through what you like to present you to be my mom's and it will go forward between their last and. it's definitely an obstacle because they have moms and concerns and make it. almost all americans the influence all markets think about who clearly has a discreet distance from the work you do that because. he's going to use his supporters and the them already to get the nomination he can beat you if you gets the general election but ther

under jeff bezos has nothing to do with amazon. and they have done superb work and it is an insult to our friends and colleagues at "the washington post." i think it is indicative of the fact that the bernie sanders campaign isn't going so well. he's way down in the polls compared to where he was in 2016 and he is -- is engaging in the venerable tactic of shooting the messenger which is the news media. it is not the news fault he's gown on the polls and he is not competing one-on-one with hillary clinton but that is not the fault of "the washington post" or jeff bezos. >> people -- hold on. arlette, weigh in because you cover the political campaign and people at "the washington post" have said to me repeatedly, they have felt no pressure from jeff bezos at all. they let "the washington post" do their job. >> that is right. and "the washington post" came out forcefully and said this is a conspiracy theory of bernie sanders. but it is not entirely new for bernie to be criticizing the media. you remember going back to 2016, they felt

jeff bezos owns the "washington post," and he also owns amazon.does not own the "washington post." just as sort of a logistical matter. secondly, i worked there for six years, seven years under don graham and the graham family when they owned it and i worked there for another three or four years when jeff bezos bought it. not once in that time, not literally one time and i wrote about politics every day, not one time did i ever get a whiff of jeff bezos in any way, shape or form trying to or being effective in -- there was no attempt to influence. and i can tell you, because for a lot of that time marty baron was the editor. marty wouldn't stand for it. it's the kind of thing that's a good applause line, but it doesn't have any bearing in reality and it's dangerous because people who don't know better believe it. >> exactly. >> dana, i was just going to say they're not just going after the "washington post." the campaign manager was on with brian stelter a few years ago and pointed to pharmaceutical commerce that run on tv networks, implying that

so if more new yorkers are going socialist, don't blame aoc, blame jeff bezos.ow rich that is? even if you started earning $50 million a year, guess how long it would take for you to reach jeff bezos' level. 2,880 years. now imagine being that rich and still being like, "yah, i'll come to your city, but you've gotta give me money." [laughter] - sweet lord, that is super rich. - i know. to get that money, lebron would have to stay on the lakers until the year 4899. [laughter] and they probably still won't make the playoffs. [audience laughs and groans] the knicks won't either. [laughter] by the way, having super rich people in charge doesn't help, either. last week, our billionaire president proposed cuts to medicaid, the program that gives health insurance to the poor. this is a guy who can afford the best doctors in the world and he still wants to take health care away from poor people. my god, the assholery. [laughter] it's not enough you're already in the vip section sipping cristal, you also want to walk around the club slapping bud lights out of other peopl

who complain about their coverage contrary to the conspiracy theory the senator seems to favor jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full independence as our reporters and editors can attest . well bernie sanders has long been a vocal critic of corporate media arguing that they mis represent his views and ultimately act in the interests of fame money to elite. working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people jeff bezos made a leben 1000000000 dollars last year they didn't pay a nickel in federal income taxes wealthy people should stop paying their fair share of taxes etc. bernie sanders makes like skin crawl and i can't even identify for you what exactly it is because i see him as sort of a pro woman candidate or he could seriously bashers billionaires flaming which many of the problems many americans most americans have suffered just missed most is he just man the world or something just of course he is you know. because he's threatening the class interests and working on it trying to keep him through being elected president we will be even more static we

take a listen. >> jeff bezos is on the phone telling the editor of washington post want to do.os gets on the phone to "the washington post," there is a framework of what we can discuss and what we cannot discuss. not one reporter has asked me, bernie, what are you going to do about the grotesque level of wealth inequality. >> what is your take? >> bernie is luke skywalker. he needs a death star. he had that in hillary. every day you knew what he would do. going after the establishment and she represented everything he hated in the democratic party. it wasn't easy but it was obvious. and now he doesn't have that. i thought he would do that with joe biden but now it is jeff bezos but he's walking that back. he needs darth vader and he looks around and there nothing but ralph nader. he has to have somebody to go after. i've done my share of media bashing, i'm not against it. but they need to give specifics and this is the story unfair because of bezos and he can't do that. >> and bernie sanders has tried to make joe biden his target. most of the attacks from his campaign have been

never true, and i ask you just to show our homework, when was the last time you met or heard from jeff bezos about your coverage? >> i've never heard from mr. bezos about my coverage. marty barron's statement says it all. the washington post is a news organization, a reporting organization. it's also a news organization, a newspaper that recently had an event with senator sanders. i sat down with the vermont senator for an hour to talk policy, a productive conversation. i was one of the first reporters to report on his presidential ambitions in 2014, long before he even announced. took him seriously as a candidate, someone who was changing the democratic party with his proposals for medicare for all, eliminating college debt. i've always seen him as a serious person and a serious candidate. but these recent comments were not serious. he knows the washington post reporters. he knows how we operate. and we operate as reporters. >> eliza, let's just get on the record the latest democratic polling. it continues to show joe biden having a good outing, 33%, sanders 20, warren 14, and after harris

if you look at "the washington post" owned by jeff bezos, we fought with the workers from amazon to get$15 an hour. you wonder why "the washington post" is not one of my great supporters. i wonder why. "the new york times" not much better. >> cnn's arlette saenz joins our conversation at the table. we're not supposed to be his reporter, we're supposed to cover him in the business so that's a nice try, senator. this is a tactic as old as the republic. normally done by politicians who in my view are trying to rally their base, keep their base. senator sanders has a little bit to worry about in that regard. he has a loyal base, he has a great fund-raising machine, but 2020 with 20 candidates is not 2016 one on one. is that what this is about more than "the washington post"? >> i think partially so. back in 2016 his campaign often complained about the media coverage then. he called it the bernie blackout. today they're calling it the bernie write-off. that was something that resonated with some of his supporters that he wasn't getting a fair shot from the media. as you point out, there are

and i talk about that all of the time and then i wonder "the washington post" which is owned by jeff bezos write particularly good articles about me. i don't know why. we have pointed out over and over again that amazon made $10 billion in profit last year. you know how much they paid in taxes? you got it, zero. and you wonder why "the washington post" is not one of my great supporters. i wonder why. "the new york times" not much better. >> marty baron, the executive editor of "the washington post" contrary to the conspiracy theory, jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate in full independence as our reporters and editors can attest. every politician is at some point frustrated with their coverage, but this is a little bit different. >> yeah. and today he did seem to actually walk back this attack line. he did say they were independent and they don't -- he still had criticism for the press, but he did take away the -- he walked back the criticism that his coverage -- >> he said it's not the case that jeff bezos gets on the phone to "the washington post." he said there's a framework what w

and of course you have elon musk and jeff bezos with blue origin and elon musk with spacex.uilding rockets. more of the celebrity type, jeff bezos is kind of working away. he's got three rocket designs. the first one is armstrong which is a suborbital. second one is the glenn to put people in orbit and the third is the armstrong which can carry interplanetary to them one or elsewhere. this is very exciting. how many of you know robert bigelow? yeah, he is right up here in las vegas. he invited a group of 15-20 of space geeks. he made $1 billion i guess in his hotels. is that i want to spend half of that putting a private space stations. so we had to three days talking about how to do that. of course what he came up with, are these inflatable modules. which he hopes to use as orbiting hotels, laboratories and moon bases. what's interesting is he sets up in orbit, there is now test module on the international space station. we wanted to talk about mars so let me get back to mars. elon musk famously said i want to die on mars but not on landing there. and very understandable. i

( laughter ) ( applause ). >> jon: whoa! >> stephen: hey, ladies.ut don't touch. at a recent event in new hampshire, bernie went after bezos again. >> you know, if you look at "the washington post"-- which is owned by the wealthiest guy in this country, a guy named jeff bezos-- amazon made $10 billion in profit last year. you know how much they paid in taxes? you got it! zero! any wonder why "the washington post" is not one of my great supporters? i wonder why. >> stephen: wait. he's stealing trump's thing. (as bernie) "yes, the jeff bezos "the washington post" is-- and i think i am coining this phrase-- fake news! sad! it's a witch hunt! a witch... hunt! god bless the united stush." now, bernie went on-- ( applause ) bernie went on to explain why he's worried about corporate media, saying "large corporations own the media in america, by and large, and i think there is a framework, about how the corporate media focuses on politics." okay, bernie, that's ridiculous. i, stephen colbert, work for a major corporate media. but i'm free from corporate inf

paper's editorial position reflects the interests of its own at the billionaire amazon founder jeff bezos. future wages is on the phone telling the girl watching the most what to do absolutely. doesn't work what i think is immediate. there is a framework. of the washington post c.n.n. operates. on anybody you know how much amazon hated the packers what is your. when i talk about it all the time and then i wonder why the washington post which is owned by jumping through on time thought of the right i think we got off the book i don't know what senator sanders is a member of a large club of politicians of every ideology who complain about their coverage contrary to the conspiracy theory the senator seems to favor jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full independence as all reporters and editors can attest but he sounds as has long been a vocal critic of corporate media that they misrepresent his views and ultimately act in the interests of the elite. the working families that should not have to subsidize the wealthiest people just big souls made a lebanon 1000000000 dollars last

amazon ceo jeff bezos ownsns the newspaper. >> anybody here know how much amazon paid in t taxes last yea? i talk about it all the time and then i wonder why "the washington post" which is owned by jeff bezos who owns amazon, doesn't write a good article about me. i don't know why. amy: "washington post" editor marty baron told cnn -- enatoranders is a member of a large club of politicians -- of every ideology -- who complain about their coverage. contrary to the conspiracy theory the senator seems to favor, jeff bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full inpendence, as our reporters and editors can attest." a four-star general in charge of -- has ordered a review of the culture special operation units within the u.s. military. it comes after several recent cases involving members of seal engaging in a in some cases criminal acts. an entire seal platoon was recently sent home from iraq after facing accusations of sexual assault and alcohol consumption. last year an internal investigation found members of another seal team abused caine and other illegal drugs in in a case that rece

the president does not like "the washington post" jeff bezos owns it and the president does not like him, tweets about it. that's about as in the doghouse you can get with a ceo the question is whether there will be policy and outcomes for that, bottom line advantage for amazon we'll wait and see to that >> it doesn't sound like there could be possibly damage to a jim hackett. i'm curious. we had that scale all nicely spaced out but if you had your druthers, would you slide hackett closer to bezos or further away >> reporter: i think you'd slide them further away. i don't think anybody is in the doghouse as much as jim bezos, remember there is a multi-contract for federal computing services on the line here amazon really wants and some of the competitors, including oracle has been trying to make sure that amazon doesn't get it the president has called into question whether amazon get that contract is that personal or is he making it purely on the policy merits when he calls that into question? it's sort of hard to untangle those things that's why i think you see a guy like tim cook s
