According to Pulitzer Prize winner David Remnick, the Washington Post is facing the possibility of an exodus of hundreds of employees who have no faith in owner Jeff Bezos after his latest controversial move.

Moments after legendary Washington Post editor Marty Baron appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to criticize the billionaire Amazon owner's ruling that the venerable paper's editorial page will only parrot his "particular point of view," Remnick, who got his big break at the Post, joined the pile-on.

While speaking with the MSNBC hosts, Remnick claimed more employees with follow editorial page editor David Shipley out the door as soon as they land jobs with the Post's competitors.

"The thing that concerns me the most about what Bezos announced yesterday, and you mentioned the word fear, was that the fear that he must have that he obviously does have and other billionaires have it, other tech pros have it that it creeps onto the reportorial product," MSNBC regular Mike Barnicle prompted Remnick. "That is a real fear that I have. Do you share?"

"Of course, I have that fear," Remnick exclaimed. "I haven't seen it, to be honest, in the newsroom of the Washington Post, but I do know that the fear and anxiety has leached onto the newsroom floor so that, according to people at the Washington Post, not a few people have applied to flee the Post for the New York Times, but hundreds of people at the Washington Post have applied for jobs elsewhere, particularly the Times, the Post and so on."
