Washington Post Snubs Kamala Harris with Non-Endorsement

Washington Post Snubs Kamala Harris with Non-Endorsement

Wendell Husebø 25 Oct 2024

The Washington Post will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to the paper’s editorial board on Friday.

It will be the first time in 36 years that the paper has not endorsed a presidential candidate, a blow to Harris who is already suffering from not being endorsed by the L.A. Times, her hometown paper.

The decision allegedly involved Jeff Bezos, who reportedly ordered the non-endorsement with the early vote trends appearing to favor former President Donald Trump. Bezos, the owner of the paper, has several large contracts with the U.S. government.

NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik reported on the decision, which appears to have “shocked” the paper’s left-leaning newsroom:

    The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told colleagues that the Post‘s publisher, Will Lewis, would publish a note to readers online early Friday afternoon.

    Shipley told colleagues the editorial board was told yesterday by management that there would not be an endorsement. He added that he “owns” this decision. The reason he cited was to create “independent space” where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.

    Colleagues were said to be “shocked” and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.

Very significant, although I believe it would be more accurate to call the San Francisco Examiner her hometown paper.

Harris didn’t leave Canada until she was 18, wouldn’t her hometown paper have been a Canadian one :whistle:

She lived in Quebec, so there is a good chance her hometown paper would have been in French...which Haitians speak... :pondering:

Triggered Celebs Cancel Washington Post and Los Angeles Times Subscriptions After Neither Endorse Kamala

On Tuesday the Los Angeles Times declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president. On Friday, the Washington Post said the same. And now, a Hollywood leftist vs. Democrat media complex civil war has kicked off for the world to see, with major entertainment industry figures flaunting their canceled subscriptions and bashing billionaires on Trump-backer Elon Musk’s X.

Here's what Jennifer Rubin tweeted when the LA Times decided not to endorse anyone.  She encouraged staffers there to resign.  At this moment, she continues her employment with the WaPo.

So, what is Bezos' motive...to squash any declaration of support for the 2024 Democratic ticket...for the first time in 36 years?

Same with the Los Angeles Times...zippo!

Bezos sees what the government is willing to do against even a former POTUS...is currently doing in threatening Elon Musk.

If they can take whatever they want from me with a stroke of a pen, even an Executive Order, then, like Daryll Hall and John Oates sang..."I Can't Go For That!"

So...is it Self-Preservation?  He's the 2nd richest man in the world!!

Anyone have any thoughts on it?
