Jeff Bezos is a large shareholder in the Washington Post. I refuse to support his company, Amazon, any more.

I know it's a tiny and majorly futile symbolic gesture, but at this point it's all I've got to protest the fake news industry.

His bottom line has been hit hard by this one. They might even retract the story now.

Based upon your principled stand, I have decided not to become an Amazon Prime customer.

I find myself agreeing with AggieDub on this one.

Nah, as I wrote, it's a symbolic and futile gesture.

Of course, I wouldn't expect an Aggie to be able to comprehend complex sentences.

And if ten million other Prime members do the same thing, then.....

I have divested myself of all my Amazon stock.

Of course, I have never owned any but it is the principle of the matter.

Went ahead and re-upped my subscription to offset the damages.

All it takes is 19 Senate Republicans to convict vs. your 10 million prime subscribers. Which is tougher?

No. I haven't owned Amazon stock in years. And even then it was a day trade.

This hit will drag Bezos' Net worth down to $82,999,999,999.99.
