Is Washington Post really a ‘lobbyist weapon’ for Amazon?

President Donald Trump continued his months-long series of accusations against The Washington Post and its owner, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Monday. The President alleged the paper “fabricated facts” in a recent report about U.S. involvement in Syria.

“Is Fake News Washington Post being used as a lobbyist weapon against Congress to keep Politicians from looking into Amazon no-tax monopoly?” the president Tweeted.

It’s not the first time Trump has taken a shot at the publication and Bezos. In December, he called Bezos’ ownership of The Washington Post a scam, referring to the paper as a “big tax shelter.” He has also accused Amazon of violating antitrust laws.

“His theory is that we are somehow an avenue for Jeff Bezos to avoid taxes for Amazon,” Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold told Seattle’s Morning News on KIRO Radio.

Details on Tuesday’s healthcare decision

Fahrenthold continued to discuss Tuesday’s motion to proceed discussion of a Senate GOP healthcare bill. He says he isn’t quite sure what the new bill entails at all.

“There is no latest bill. This is a really extraordinary moment where they’re basically voting to begin debate on a bill that would cover one-sixth of the economy and they don’t have a bill, they don’t know what it says,” Fahrenthold said.

“Lately, the most recent sort of theory that I’ve seen people talk about is that they’re just going to vote for what they call ‘skinny repeal,’ which is they’re just going to repeal some pretty unpopular provisions of the Affordable Care Act: the individual mandate to buy insurance, the employer mandate to provide insurance, and a medical device tax that people don’t like. They’re going to leave in place every other part of Obamacare. The idea is they just want to have the Senate pass something because then they can go to a conference committee with the House.”
