Washington Post columnist won’t question Bezos out of fear of getting fired

Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin claimed he could pay a price for criticism of Jeff Besos, owner of DC News Outlet.

Rogin recently accused the “real time” leader Bill Maher of playing in the hands of President Trump, meeting him the previous week. “I mean You have fallen into a trap, And I think I represent 99% of the internet when I say it: You played in the immediate vicinity of the principle, “Rogin said.” I don’t question your motivation, I question Trump, okay? “

On Monday, the episode “Piers Morgan Uncensured”, the host of the Rogina grill of the same name for criticizing Maher, was allegedly silent about Besos who spread the olives on Trump.

“Work for the Washington Post. Your owner, Jeff Bezos, has done much more than Bill Maher in crossing the division with Trump. He used to be very critical of Trump. But in the last year or a half or about it, or from shooting, he seems to have taken a huge turn turn on Trump,” Morgan said.

Bill Maher calls Trump one of the ‘most effective politicians’ because of his authenticity

The host recalled a number of ways in which Bezos warmed up to Trump, from lunch with him on his MAR-a-status of December to get a million dollars his inauguration fund. Then he continued to ask, “I mean, like an older journalist Washington post, how do you feel about all that?”

Rogin denied that he was trying to criticize Maher, saying “if it goes down, then I may not have made my criticism perfectly. I was trying to criticize the idea that, you know, the engagement with Trump is a kind, you know, to overcome the treatment of cultural divisions, because I just don’t think it will be the result.”

He then claimed that business leaders who meet with Trump are a completely different set of calculations. When it comes to his own experience in the mail, he said, not even this way in what is happening at the management level, nor did he personally meet Besos. Rogin claimed that this answer was “It’s not a duck, I just have no insight into what’s going on above me on the Washington Post.”

Morgan took a few words in response to Rogin’s denial that he was trying to “bend” the question.

“Josh, look, if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it’s probably a duck,” Morgan said. “I mean, you can understand that if Bill Maher watches you as you refuse to be at a distance critical of what your owner did with Trump in terms of kissing the ring, you could potentially see that you might think there is a double standard there.”

“I see what you are trying to do, Piers, but I’m not able to comment on Jeff Besos, because if I comment on Jeff Bezos, then I could be fired from work, and you know it, so I won’t do it,” Rogin replied. “But at the same time, I want to be honest with you, so it seems to me that I do not raise your question.”

“And my sincere response from my heart is, you know, every person who deals with this administration, including all the people on this panel, including you, including me, must bring that judgment based on our own calculations of our own values ​​and our own interests, and we must be careful not to judge each other for where we all descend.

Rogin claimed that he was consistent in this attitude, claiming that it was the same one who had when he talked to Maher, where he was basically, “the engagement is good and the way you do, and your expectations of Trump’s response should be very limited.”
