Dave Jorgenson, the video reporter who launched the Washington Post’s TikTok account in 2019, may have taken his job into his own hands on Monday with a video, yes, posted to TikTok, in which he roasted owner Jeff Bezos over the decision to kill the paper’s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris.
In a minute-long video, Jorgenson played both the editorial board and Bezos himself. “All right, our editorial staff, which is the opinion section of a newspaper, has written our endorsement for Kamala Harris. Here, time to publish,” he begins.
“Wait, stop. Don’t publish it,” a tuxedo-bedecked Jorgenson-as-Bezos interjected. After being asked why, his Bezos continued, “So, as you may know, I’m a billionaire, yes, and many of us billionaires own multiple companies.”
