Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Ends Washington Post Presidential Endorsements Amid Subscriber Exodus
Oct 28, 2024, 11:50 PM
Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post and Amazon founder, has decided to end the newspaper's long-standing practice of endorsing presidential candidates. This decision, announced in an op-ed on Monday night, has sparked criticism from reporters, editors, and readers. Bezos defended his decision, stating that presidential endorsements do not influence election outcomes and instead create a perception of bias. He emphasized that the move is a principled decision aimed at addressing a credibility gap in the media industry. Bezos also noted that there is no quid pro quo involved in this decision and referenced former publisher Eugene Meyer's similar stance on the issue. The decision comes amid a subscriber exodus at The Washington Post.
