Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' personal ownership of The Washington Post makes him a "lightning rod" for attacks by President Donald Trump, internet analyst Michael Graham told CNBC on Thursday.

"It's probably not the greatest thing for Amazon shareholders" for Bezos to own the paper, said Graham, who covers Amazon at financial firm Canaccord Genuity. "It definitely makes Mr. Bezos a lightning rod for what's going on politically."
