[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Canceling your subscription only hurts the writers at the post who barely survive layoffs.  I’m not happy about the lack of an endorsement but on the whole, the Post is providing incredible and brave investigative reporting.   [/quote]

Do you think the same owner who quashed the endorsement will allow real investigative reporting? [/quote]

He has allowed them to do real investigative reporting up to now, including about Amazon. It's possible he suddenly plans to change his whole approach here, but he was basically willing to let the National Enquirer publish his dick pics rather than try to influence coverage not that long ago. I agree that the explanation he's given for this stupid decision seems like utter garbage, but ... the other explanations also don't quite seem to fit, do they? Trump already retaliated against Amazon once when he was president, and Bezos only got richer after that.[/quote]

There was a meeting between Trump officials and Blue Origin the day of the decision [/quote]

Yes, and this proves... what, exactly? That meeting was definitely not arranged on the day it happened. (It also wasn't the day it was decided, just the day it was announced.) Blue Origin, a company that really only has one potential client, the U.S. government, was definitely going to be trying to meet with Trump no matter what. But do we think Trump is so easily swayed that killing ONE endorsement (an endorsement that almost no one would have bothered reading if they had actually published it) outweighs all the stuff the Post has already published about him? Such as ... all the stuff that led him to cancel Amazon's $10 billion contract with the Pentagon?[/quote]
