Washington Post reels from Bezos decision to not endorse

In a note to readers on Friday, Post Publisher Will Lewis, whom Bezos hired earlier this year to shake up the Post’s business and editorial strategy, said the outlet would not be endorsing either Harris or former President Trump — a first for the Post in more than 35 years.  

“We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” Lewis wrote. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for.”
