Yes. This story about the Georgia Guidestones has all the hallmarks of being, not news, but pure propaganda. And, that’s why they had to kill Khashoggi. MBS was actually a secret agent for Bernie Sanders trying to stop all the propaganda the guy was creating for the Post and ultimately help the United States.
Organizations are big and complex; they’re always made of people with their own individual motives, and a good enterprise with good journalistic intent can be owned by an evil man. I’ve seen maybe 2-3 stories in the Post which seemed to me like they had clear propagandistic intent, with all the rest pretty legit journalism which is rare for the US. I mean… I am actually paying money which is ultimately going to Bezos, so honestly maybe you’re right on that side that that’s worth worrying about. But it’s not a top-to-bottom evil enterprise like Amazon is.
sure, there are always people pushing their own agenda, but the owner might have a bit of disproportional power in that regard to the other people there, and just because a few stories have fallen outside the range one finds believable doesn’t mean the rest is free of said propagandistic spin
Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos fyi. It’s essentially his propaganda wing at this point.

Agreed. My reply follows similar thinking as you.
