Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, nixed the paper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
And now Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post, has nixed that paper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Shameful. And shameful.

Pure craven fear.
check out Lucien Truscott IV substack posting on the topic: https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-washington-post-and-la-times . i'm still keeping my WaPo subscription but have never succumbed to amazon.
and yes, it may be fear about what T will do to the media if he gets back in office.

Fear esp. about what the loony tariffs plan would do to Amazon’s business.
Ruth Marcus has a column which quotes from previous WP editorials about Trump. It makes the decision not to endorse Harris look craven indeed.
I like how the (editor?) of the WP resigned. A student journalist told me that if an owner tries to dictate news (not editorial) then an editor would resign.
During the Nixon presidency, (I think according to the Justice Matters video blog) two guys in a row resigned rather than carry out Nixon's order. His third guy went along.
In the television political mystery thriller Babylon-5 the station commander, a good guy, orders his chief of security to do something dishonest for very good reasons, and the chief, Garibaldi, refuses. Such a good example for the next guy in real life asked to be a Himmler.
