'Washington Post' won't endorse in White House race for first time since 1980s

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday.

"We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.

Dave Weigel:

"The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos."

I worked at the paper for seven years and Bezos never interfered with a thing. This is five-alarm fire stuff.

I thought Bezos was a democrat?

What does the ex-Mrs. Bezos have to say about this? 🧐

Not a good look when the Democratic Nominee is a woman of color for the first time.

This British prick was accused of phone hacking and is obsessed with Meghan Markle.

Nuff said.

Don't worry, WaPo, we will pull you into the light and watch YOU die like a vampire.

Why did someone bump this thread, when we have far larger ones on the subject?

The conservative Detroit News editorial board refused to endorse either candidate.

Like expecting the Republican owned Las Vegas Review/Journal to come out for Harris.

But the WSJ?

The WaPo?

Has Murdoch's Wall Street Journal come out?
