Woodward and Bernstein are not amused re: WaPo non-endorsement.

[Ocelot II]

We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 12 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post’s own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos’s ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process.

When real journalists investigate and dig deep and give factual info relative to why a bad decision was made. I urge a follow up gentlemen.

7. Mm maybe Woodward should have published news right away rather than cashing in on a book

No patience for him anymore.

He worships the almighty dollar nearly as much as Bezos

Those comments are eviscerating WaPo and rightfully so. Cowards!

15. Amazon Prime Free Trial Subscription Canceled

I just canceled our Amazon Prime free trial. I was going to anyway but your comment was a great reminder to get it done.

11. Bezos gets his money from Amazon.

It would be more to the point for everyone to cancel their Amazon Prime subscriptions, but I am sure they won't.

20. Never had one

eBay or Aliexpress chick here

[LisaM]

21. I don't either, and I avoid shopping online at all.

Wasn't the head of eBay some Republican woman who ran for office? (I would look it up, but I am on my phone and when I do that, I lose my post).

There are times I have to shop online, but I truly hate it and a lot of what it represents.

12. If I had to bet,

I would have bet that a guy who had the balls to send his Big Blue Penis Rocket into space would have had the balls to stand up to a two-bit, tin-horn Trumptator. I would have lost my bet.

13. Bezos's team are reported to be in Texas at Trump events,

holding talks on the sidelines with Trump’s people.

16. I don't trust the Hills reporting. nt.

[summer_in_TX]

19. It's also The Verge, MSN, and the Daily Beast.

Beside their original article, the Daily Beast also has one with the headline "Ex-Washington Post Editor Robert Kagan: This Is a Straight Jeff Bezos-Donald Trump Quid Pro Quo."

[druidity33]

22. and it looks like...
