[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge news, just after LA Times not endorsing anyone. Both decisions were made by the paper's owners.

I think this speaks more to the fact that the owners are scared of Trump's retribution if he wins. Better to keep your head down and be quiet.

Why would The Washington Post need to keep its head down?  Why would you think the Post fears Trump retribution. I’m not sure what a sitting President could do to a large newspaper, even if he/she wanted to, and here, there is absolutely NO track record of retribution. He didn’t go after Hillary after the 2016 election, despite her having classified information on her private server. He’s also stated repeatedly that there would be no retribution if elected, and has even hinted at pardoning Hunter Biden (which would help heal the divide in this country).

For years, the Post has been a rubber stamp for the Democrat candidate. Its endorsement carries no weight.  It validates the Left, and is ignored by the Right.  The Post did not endorse this time around because it is hoping to regain credibility as a fair and balanced news outlet. This is a first step, but it has a long way go. Maybe if it was fair and balanced, its subscriptions would double.

Bezos wants those government contracts for AWS, so doesn't want to rock the boat if Trump wins. He apparently knows Trump is vengeful, and counts on Democrats to be reasonable. [/quote]
It takes balls to own a newspaper. Bezos is lacking. [/quote]
