Jeff Bezos' WP mocked for claiming it was the bar exam that failed Kim Kardashian

[Duolingo 160,601]

Jeff Bezos' The Washington Post has been slammed over an op-ed which defended Kim Kardashian after she failed the California bar.

Last month, Kardashian, 45, revealed that she didn't pass the rigorous legal examination despite studying nine hours a day for three months.

Just a few days ago, Bezos-owned newspaper The Washington Post published an op-ed with the headline, 'Actually, the bar exam failed Kim Kardashian.'

The piece, penned by Max Raskin, fellow and adjunct professor of law at New York University School of Law, claimed that Kardashian's failure was not a 'knock on her' but an 'indictment of the bar.'

The article, which was pegged as 'disgusting and pathetic' by furious readers, raised eyebrows given Bezos's close connection to the Kardashian family and was ripped apart by social media users. 

Sharing the article on Reddit, one asked: 'How much did [Kardashian] pay the Washington Post to publish this in defense of her low brain activity?' to which another responded, 'Considering how close Bezos is to the Kardashians, my guess is this was lovingly gratis.'

A third stated: 'This is just so lame. Who's it for other than Kim?'

'There's PR puff pieces and then there's whatever this mess is,' added a fourth user.

A fifth said: 'She admitted to not taking it seriously, saying she used ChatGPT constantly and then they put this article out and have the audacity to say "the temperament of the person who has the sitzfleisch to study for these exams is the kind of person who makes an effective lawyer."' 

'She failed because she didn't actually attend law school, study, or try,' slammed another. 

'She found out you can't just buy the results you want. This is disgusting and pathetic of them to write.'

Bezos, who has owned The Washington Post since 2013, has a close friendship with the Kardashians.

BRA. What a ****ing insult to all those who actually ****ing passed, and perhaps maybe if she didnt have such low brain activity to post on her own television show how kittle brain activity she has she would ****ing pass. 

I don't know about law, nor much about Kim outside how she chooses to narrate her life to us, but goodness grief. Celebrity worship needs to stop. 

Proper time management would probably see her end her show, stop business with instagram and take some time off to seriously to study for the bar as she attends to her kids and own personal life, if she's trying to truly make a difference like she says. Her family and her have enough money to let Kim never work a day in her life again if she wanted to study for the bar exam without any distractions for the rest of her life if thats what she wanted to do.

It is great to see how money can''t just buy everything....yet. 

SMH.

People truly don't lie when they say that billionaires own all medias 

Just earlier today I was reading about Bernard Arnault buying science magazines and the president of Hungary's (extreme right) rich friends buying the country's most popular newpaer ahead of elections... And now I learn that WP is owned by Bezos
