Despite about 200,000 reported subscription cancelations, Washington Post owner and billionaire owner Jeff Bezos defended his decision to cease presidential endorsements days before the 2024 election, ending a decades-long tradition dating to the early 1990s.
Bezos, the world’s third-wealthiest man and the chairman and founder of Amazon, doubled down on his decision in an opinion piece Monday night published on his paper’s website. He cited America’s loss in faith in news organizations, which has steadily fallen since the 1970s, as among the reasons not to endorse candidates.
inb4 bozo changes his tune in four years and forces ‘his’ paper to endorse a republican for president in 2028 (after having endorsed every democratic candidate since carter, except dukakis–none that year, and now).
I bet in a few years he’ll be “Dark MAGA” just like Elon
He will be running.
Lmao, how on earth is the loss in faith in news organizations your justification for refusing to endorse a political candidate? It’s like he’s tone deaf as to why people are losing faith in news organizations.
“People no longer trust news organizations because we prop up this false dichotomy of both political sides being “equal” despite one side being clear and dangerous fascism. In order to try and gather faith in my news organization, I’m going to double down on this and refuse to acknowledge this problem.” What a joke.
Doubling down on being a shit stained coward
