Did WaPo Break The Law When It Disciplined A Writer For This Negative Article On Jeff Bezos?

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Just last week, even Hillary Clinton called out Facebook for allowing someone who may have been Russian buy a staggering $50,000 worth of political ads on their site...hopefully we don't have to explain the irony of that statement given that Facebook execs gave millions to Hillary's campaign.

But, just a word to the wise, if you're a writer and have intentions of joining in on the recent wave of tech titan bashing, you may want to first make sure your paper isn't owned by the same tech titan who has wandered into your crosshairs.  Unfortunately, Fredrick Kunkle of the Washington Post didn't heed that advice when he published a scathing op-ed about Jeff Bezos in the Huffington Post.  Here's a taste of what he had to say:

One of the wealthiest men in the world is thinking of ways to give back. But he's still taking from the very people who helped him build his fortune.
 
But as Bezos, whose worth now exceeds $80 billion, loosens his pockets, it's important to put his charitable giving — and the philanthropy of the super-rich — into perspective: Many people worked hard for Bezos to help make him so rich, and he has a record of treating them poorly.
