This has been a tough fall for super-rich newspaper owners. Both Jeff Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who owns the Los Angeles Times, pulled presidential endorsements pre-publication.

Fierce internal criticism and resignations followed.
Each was back in the news on Wednesday. Bezos was interviewed at an investors’ conference, while Soon-Shiong issued editorial directives after a headline he found objectionable.
