According to the report, there was uproar and outrage among the Washington Post’s current and former staffers and other notable figures in the world of American media after the newspaper’s leaders on Friday chose to not endorse any candidate in the US presidential election.
The report said that the newspaper’s publisher, Will Lewis, announced on Friday that for the first time in over 30 years, the paper’s editorial board would not be endorsing a candidate in this year’s presidential election, nor in future presidential election. After the news broke, reactions came flooding in, with people criticizing the decision, which, according to some staffers and reporters, was allegedly made by the Post’s owner, billionaire Jeff Bezos.
The report added that it was an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line, to call out threats to human rights and democracy,” she added. They consider it a stab in the back.
The role of an Editorial Board is to do just this: to share opinions on the news impacting our society and culture and endorse candidates to help guide readers,” the statement reads. The staff was preparing to support Harris, but the newspaper owner declared No. Perhaps the newspaper owner is a pro Trump.
