An alarming development as the Presidential Election of 2024 nears, is that the billionaire owners of two highly significant and reputable national newspapers have refused to allow their staffs to make an endorsement for President. The Washington Post has had 76 Pulitzer Prizes in its history, and the Los Angeles Times has had more than 40 in its history.
Jeff Bezos of the Washington Post and Patrick Soon-Shiong of the Los Angeles Times have prevented endorsements in the most significant Presidential race since 1940 and 1860. This is billionaire cowardice, kowtowing to the authoritarian threat of Donald Trump!
Their actions, interfering with the editorial board and staff, is causing alarm and provoking resignations, as well as cancellation of subscriptions by readers, as it seems clear that the personal business interests of both men are getting in the way of principles and public safety at a crucial moment in the fight for protection of democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law!
Additionally, the New York Post, owned by the Rupert Murdoch family, the most despicable newspaper owner imaginable, has decided to endorse Donald Trump, after having backed away from support two years ago after the legal cases against Donald Trump were made clear as a result of the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection.
In 2013 Bezos bought the Wahsington Post for $250 million so he could toutut his slanted information to the public.
“His reality is all you are to know.”
With the epidemic lack of critical thinking skills with many today, he knows the masses are too dumb to recognize, that they are being inundated and manipulated with false, or sanitize, information.
If Trump wins, Bezos will get Tax Breaks to levels never before seen in the history of our country!! So he is definitely not going to have the Post come out in favor of Harris. Now if he came out to blantantly support Trump, Bezos would be exposing himself as someone with NO MORAL VALUES.
The WaPo’s decline began years ago – check out their disgraceful emphasis on “HER EMAILS” in 2016, then their fawning, sycophantic, stenographic coverage of Glenn Youngkin in 2021 (and beyond), etc.
