1. OH F F S!!!!!

[riversedge]

2. money money money!!

[Fullduplexxx]

3. Nato trump's a loser, so they don't want to support him, but they don't want to support harris

[viva la]

4. Of all years to choose one over the other....

The LA Times editor resigned because the owner intervened and refused to let the paper endorse Harris.

To choose NOT to make an endorsement is to cow before the terror of (gag) Trump. Good lord. How craven are they.

Oh, I guess these billionaires aren't craven. They just want Trump to lower their taxes and give them govt business. Well, let's see how well their portfolios do when Trump crashes the economy with his confiscatory tariff demands.

[TwilightZone]

5. This is just...odd.

This is the same organization that documented more than 30,000 lies Trump told during his time in office. I don't see how they can possibly have anything to lose by endorsing Harris. The right already hates WaPo.

6. The billionaires aren't screwing around. They want to own the world and Trump is their tool

Legacy media has pretty much chosen a side, and it's not the side of democracy.

7. If they don't endorse Harris

I will cancel my subscription.

[Dave says]

14. Ditto

I already dropped the NYT. If I subscribed to the LA Times, I would have dropped them, too. If they don’t endorse Harris, I’m dropping the Post, too.

That leaves me with the Guardian for “mainstream news”.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Dump them all.

[JohnSJ]

9. If the Washington Post refuses to endorse VP Harris against the greatest threat to our democracy, I will drop my

subscription faster then a New York minute.

[Cha]

15. Now it's Even More Amzing that the NYT Endorsed

Harris/Walz!

[JohnSJ]

17. In a way. They actually endorsed Hillary in 2016, but their anti-Hillary coverage was so deplorable it erased any

benefit from that endorsement.

[Jose Garcia]

10. Add this to the list of shit that will not affect the outcome of the election

Undecided voters are not going to be reading the opinion pages of the Post.

[Wiz Imp]

11. This needs to get as much publicity as the LA Times non-endorsement

In a weird way, the LA Times non-endorsement may have worked to Kamala Harris advantage. I mean, how many people pay attention to newspaper endorsements, even from large papers? But by refusing to allow the endorsement to be published, the owner actually made news all over the country, outraging people who believe in Freedom of the Press and reaching a whole lot more people with the message that the LA Times editorial board "endorsed" Kamala Harris than a simple endorsement in the newspaper would have.

12. Democracy Dies in Defeatism

dickheads


✌🏻

[highplainsdem]

13. Shameful.

[BeyondGeography]

16. Add me to the list of former customers if they cave

Bezos is fretting about his billions. Why would I continue to validate that?

[Wonder Why]

18. You don't work for Tass, WP board. Or do you?

[kysrsoze]

19. The fascism in media ownership runs deep

And now people are seeing it.

[malaise]

20. Another effin foreigner

Born in England and so loves his knighthood

The effin racist trash Mail on Sunday

In 1991, Lewis was hired as a finance reporter by The Mail on Sunday. In 1994 he left the tabloid to take a job in the Financial Times' investigative unit. He later became fund management correspondent and then mergers and acquisitions correspondent.

[maxsolomon]

21. Well well well. NYT not looking so bad at this point, is it?

The "Traitorous Fascist Scum" paper whole-heartedly endorsed Harris, while the other "Paper of Record" is waffling.

Maybe Arthur Sulzberger isn't the devil.

22. UPDATE: NEWS: The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's presidential race...

NEWS: The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's presidential race, the editor of the editorial pages has told colleagues at a tense meeting this morning
