Their bias should be more nuanced. In Nixon's time, the Post hated him as


much as they hate Trump.
But under Ben Bradlee, the stories seemed more neutral in tone, while still slipping little bombs in the text.. No one could tag the writers as biased.
Under Bezos, there is none of that. The stories are written like stories in the NY Post, The Globe or even the National Enquirer. I saw a headline on the front page recently that said something like, "How Ignorant is Trump?"
That is something the Bradlee Post would never allow. And, he was as liberal as anyone in the U.S.
( I was an assistant to a division editor many years ago.)
