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

    https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/25/…

    "The Washington Post said it will not endorse a candidate in the presidential election for the first time in decades.

    The newspaper ran an article by two staff reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the election.

    “The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,” the article said.

    In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure ... to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos."

    • I doubt that legacy newspaper endorsements play much a role in the election. But the Post lost 200,000 subscribers over it!
