Adam O'Neal, Opinion Editor at Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, abruptly resigned Friday, catching staff by surprise. O'Neal was appointed over a year ago to shift the editorial page from liberal-leaning to align with Bezos' "free markets" ideology, reported media watchdog Status. During his 18-month tenure, O'Neal oversaw aggressive restructuring that sparked internal backlash and subscription cancellations. A particularly troubled initiative was the "Make It Make Sense" podcast, which received $80,000 in studio equipment shortly after February layoffs, Status reported. According to reporting by Status, the Opinion section is uncertain of its direction following O'Neal's departure.
