The executive editor of The Washington Post late Monday fired back after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) suggested that the newspaper negatively covers his presidential campaign because he criticizes its owner, Jeff Bezos.
"Sen. Sanders is a member of a large club of politicians -- of every ideology -- who complain about their coverage,” Marty Baron said in a statement to CNN. “Contrary to the conspiracy theory the senator seems to favor, Jeff Bezos allows our newsroom to operate with full independence, as our reporters and editors can attest.”
