Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, paper reports

The Washington Post announced that it will not be endorsing a candidate in the presidential election this year or in any future elections. The decision was reportedly made by owner Jeff Bezos, sparking criticism. While an endorsement of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over GOP nominee Donald Trump was drafted, it was not published. The decision to not endorse was explained as a return to the paper’s roots and values, with a focus on democratic values, the rule of law, and human freedom. The move was met with backlash from readers, former staff members, and others in the media industry.
