I'm skeptical of the substance of this article because WSJ and Amazon share an owner.

I typically like the WSJ's reporting, but this honestly feels like a topic they should be recusing themselves from.

Do you mean WaPo? Bezos owns the Washington Post but WSJ is owned by Murdoch via NewsCorp[1] unless I’m mistaken.

No they don't. You're thinking of the Washington Post.

WSJ is owned by Dow Jones & Company / News Corporation

I think you're confusing WSJ and The Washington Post. The later is owned by Jeff Bezos.

Did Bezos buy WSJ in addition to the Post? I thought Fox owned WSJ.
You’re thinking of the Washington Post. WSJ is a Murdoch property.
