“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg signed the dream of tech journalist Kara Swisher, which is from Jeff Bezos Or maybe even the idea of “when new newspapers”.
Swisher said last year that she was working to form a group of investors to buy the position, although the founder of billionaire Amazon gave no indication that he was willing to sell Washington, D.C.
The post has suffered exile from high-profile journalists and editors in recent months and was outraged by some readers and staff when it announced last year that it would not recognize candidates in the 2024 presidential election. Bezos has received praise for his efforts to endorse the program for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, who further annoyed the latest changes to the paper’s opinion page.
In the ongoing drama in the post, Swisher reiterated her desire to buy the newspaper in Thursday’s episode of “The View,” saying she knew a lot of billionaires would help.

“Money is not a problem. The problem is that Jeff Bezos doesn’t want to sell it because he now sees it as a tool.”
“Musk owns X, he has this. Now, everything is happening, it’s really good guys leaving. Ruth Marcus just left, PR just left, yesterday was the head of communications, they just lost their subscription, it’s all due to Jeff’s thing,” Swisher said.
“He likes to blame journalists. They don’t like change, I would agree 10 years ago, but journalists do know they need to change,” Sweaburg continued, continuing before Goldberg was in trouble.
“So, maybe,” Goldberg said, Swisher asked if she wanted to be involved.
“I do,” Goldberg said. “Maybe the idea is…crowdfunding, because I think a lot of people want to be part of the newspaper that has something to say.”
Goldberg said she watched crowdfunding do “amazing things” and felt that it could help fix the post.
“Maybe it’s time to have a new newspaper,” Goldberg said.
