Consider that if Trump should win he would come with a noose & gallows for Jeff Bezos had the Washington Post endorsed Kamala Harris. With Silence Democracy would “die in Darkness” & Trump would have 10% of the gross of Amazon. As for journalists at WAP???

 Bezos chose life. As for the lives of journalists at the Washington Post should Trump win???

“I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THE DAY when the Washington Post would kneel before Donald Trump.

These are not Senate Republicans or conservative donors. This is not a group of people who cower in the face of authoritarianism. The Post editorial board, the writers who write anonymous opinion essays in the name of the paper itself, is a group of bold, pro-democracy intellectuals who have traditionally taken—individually and collectively—courageous stands about democracy and human rights around the world.

The Post’s editorial page is also the institution in which I grew up professionally. I worked there for nearly a decade under both of the last two long-time editorial page editors, Fred Hiatt and Meg Greenfield. It is an institution I revere.

And it is one that has not previously wavered with respect to Trumpist authoritarianism.

Yet today we learn that the editorial board has been stripped of its authority to endorse presidential candidates, having previously decided to endorse Kamala Harris. Instead, the paper announced in a statement from the publisher, William Lewis, that “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”
