Ultimately, though, to me, it's a bad call for the owner to override the editorial board regardless of why. It makes the Washington Post less trustworthy, not more, totally independent of anything to do with Trump.
Agreed.
And I’m totally fine with the editorial board making a decision to not endorse.

I don’t believe him when he said there was no quid pro quo.
Like one the commenters said: Bezos himself has fascist tendencies. Look how he treats his workers - unsafe conditions, impossible performance metrics, repetitive injuries, peeing in bottles in their delivery vehicle, etc.
He and Trump are peas in a pod. Even through Trump trying to blackmail Bezos and blowing up his marriage, Bezos resisted. But now he’s finally bent the knee.

As he states, the media profession is the least trusted of all. Below Congress.
And he is a main reason why

Their endorsements have been Kerry, Obama, Obama, Clinton, Biden.
It gets worse across the news industry.
Go look.

Maybe he could hire some actual Republicans to write news articles.

I agree with what was written 100%.
Idiots who cancel their subscriptions to WaPo and even Amazon over this are being obtuse.

Reads like it was written by committee. Some good points. A lot of defensiveness.

Just came out an hour ago, his ridiculous non-excuse for shutting down endorsements a week before a very consequential election.
