The Post is of course personally owned by Bezos, rather than being a part of Amazon. While he doesn't want the paper to lose money, I think he bought it as a public service. By contrast, if Amazon bought a big publisher, it would be a business decision, made on similar criteria to those if Amazon bought any other supplier.
