This example is not at all like the situation with Jeff Bezo, Amazon, and The Washington Post. In situations like this, there is the perception (and often the reality) that employees of the media organization would self-censor and not write anything too negative about a company owned by someone that can fire them (or indirectly hinder their careers).
