WaPo no longer endorsing Presidential candidates

[Anonymous]

They are not concerned about the message that a lack of endorsement sends regarding fear of retribution from a potential presidential candidate? This move speaks volumes about what Trump has done to this country. Completely unforgivable. We must remember those who stay silent…

What exactly are you saying intending to do to those who stay silent

+1000! It's difficult to take any media source seriously when they continually endorse candidates of a single party or when they show clear political bias in the information being delivered to the public. You can't take a politically biased newspaper seriously in the same manner as you need to take everything heard on cable networks like Fox News and MSNBC with a grain of salt. Those are useless media sources in my opinion.

I think it's more a sign of the times. These days, business reigns supreme. Back in the day, politics was more about passion and papers had more clout. Who the hell reads papers? Most read online if not CNN/social media.

Endorsements are a dime a dozen. We live the online social media age where influencers exist.

I don't think people align votes according to the blessings of the LA Times and Washington Post! If anything, it's political significance only and these days, the political game has changed. You can see it in the candidates using surrogates to campaign on their behalf. Kamala took 3 days to prep for one event while others campaigned in her stead. Back in the day it was retail politics.

Different times.

They are really taking their tagline literally: Democracy dies in darkness. Bezos is making it explicitly clear where the billionaires stand.

This is hilarious. It’s like they suddenly woke up and realized who they were and were horrified by what they saw in the mirror.

The WaPo headlines seem more again Trump these days. Wondering if there’s a small chance it’s strategic so people won’t automatically discount what is written there. A Post endorsement won’t convince anyone. Wishful thinking, right?

Seriously.
Who can’t tell the difference between how Americans have lived under Trump vs. Biden and since Harris is committed to continue the current progress, it’s easy.

Newspapers have always and I mean ALWAYS been in the endorsement business.

This is democracy dying in cowardice.

I don’t blame them at all.

Funny how the polls don't say that, MAGA.

LOL. Jeff Bezos knows Donald is winning and he has real businesses to protect.

The teamsters are billionaires now?

Kamala hasn’t been able to deliver on the expected Democratic endorsement because she’s a terrible candidate. She’s failed so spectacularly in this campaign that Democrats are surprised, so the usual endorsements aren’t happening.

Did you see Kamala’s reaction when Andersen Cooper asked her about immigration? She feels entitled to the presidency. She’s not supposed to have to answer questions. That’s why she treated Andersen like Bret Baier.
