A super interesting move made by Bezos and I have to say it is a pretty smart one given how divided everything is and how picking one or the other isn't going to actually do anything.
Per the article
The newspaper also on Friday ran an article by two staff reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the election.“The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,” The Post reported, citing two sources briefed on the events.Post chief executive Will Lewis, in an online explanation of the decision, wrote, “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,” Lewis wrote.
Considering when The Los Angeles Times's power Patrick Soon-Shiong also blocked or at least "refused" to run a presidential endorsement the entire editorial board resigned in protest. We will see if this possibly become a wider spread thing. It would be a nice change as maybe legacy media could focus on idk... NEWS instead of clickbait BS.
I also get a kick out of people quitting their jobs when given the economy and state of things is that really a good idea?!?! Newspapers are dying and so you quit yours in protest?! LMAO I find it very very very funny!
He wasn't motivated by money or profits.
He doesn't view WaPo as a financial investment rather it is a vehicle for influencing news and political discourse.
