Patricia Stonesifer was named the new interim CEO of the Washington Post.

According to campaign finance disclosures, she has donated over $600,000 to Democrats.

Among those, she has donated to are Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

The Washington Post’s new CEO, Amazon board member and former Microsoft executive Patricia Stonesifer, has contributed more than $600,000 to Democrats, campaign finance disclosures reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

Stonesifer has been a prolific donor to Democrats for more than two decades, having first contributed $500 to former Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D., Wash.) in 1993. Stonesifer’s status as a prominent liberal donor only grew from there. The Post’s new head honcho from 2008 to 2016 combined to give more than $122,000 to Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and Stonesifer in 2020 gave President Joe Biden’s campaign and joint fundraising committee more than $100,000. Stonesifer in total has contributed more than $625,000 to Democrats and liberal organizations since 1993, according to an analysis of campaign finance disclosures.

Stonesifer’s status as the Post’s interim CEO, a role she accepted earlier this month after longtime top executive and publisher Fred Ryan announced his resignation, will likely do little to quash accusations that the newspaper’s owner, fellow Democratic donor and billionaire founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos, influences editorial decisions. Stonesifer is a longtime friend of Bezos, having served on Amazon’s board since 1997. While Stonesifer told Post employees that she expects her tenure to be short, her mark on the newspaper will be felt for decades, given that Bezos tasked Stonesifer to hire the paper’s next publisher and CEO.

The Post declined to comment on Stonesifer’s political contributions. Stonesifer is far from the only Post leader with extensive ties to Democratic politics. In December, the newspaper hired Nike veteran Kathy Baird to serve as its chief communications officer, touting Baird’s service on the board of IllumiNative. The nonprofit is a liberal dark money-funded “racial justice organization” that encourages elementary school students to fight for universal health care and other left-wing priorities, the Free Beacon reported in December.

No wonder Americans don’t trust the media.
