Oh, the pearl-clutchingverse or whatever you call all those folks is in tears – two of the most traditionally liberal outlets, the Washington Post and the LA Times, have been ordered not to endorse a Presidential candidate. Ermigawd, it’s like impartiality was a deadly disease! Thankfully, the NY Times, the Grey Lady, the wannabe US version of the London Times, But at the establishments which declined to endorse (per orders from their CEOs) there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. And funnily enough, a wave of subscription cancellations. These folks WANT the bias.<\/p>\n The Washington Post has been rocked by a tidal wave of cancellations from digital subscribers and a series of resignations from columnists, as the paper grapples with the fallout of owner Jeff Bezos\u2019s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.<\/p>\n More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper\u2019s paid circulation of roughly 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. NPR<\/a><\/p>\n The editorial board has mostly only endorsed Democratic candidates in presidential, Senate and congressional elections. Besides an endorsement of Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952, the Post has only ever endorsed Democrats for president since 1976. Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Purportedly, at the Post it is all due to its owner, Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said former President Trump “forced” the Washington Post editorial board to not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the race during an interview on ABC’s “The View.”<\/p>\n The Post announced on Friday that its editorial board wouldn’t be endorsing either presidential candidate, and said they wouldn’t be giving presidential endorsements in any future elections, either.Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, ‘cuz Trump is so much richer than the guy who owns the paper, the Founder of Amazon, #2 on the Forbes richest list (Trump is #319\u00a0 Forbes)<\/a>\u00a0and will be around forever.<\/p>\n In the days since, two columnists have resigned from the paper and writers have stepped down from the editorial board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile on the Left Coast, The Times is equally reviled for s Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong said that his decision not to offer readers a recommendation would be less divisive in a tumultuous election year.<\/p>\n A decision by the owner of the Los Angeles Times not to endorse in the 2024 presidential race \u2014 after the paper\u2019s editorial board proposed backing Kamala Harris \u2014 has created a tempest, prompting three members of the board to resign and provoking thousands of readers to cancel their subscriptions.<\/p>\n The medical technology billionaire, who bought The Times in 2018, posted on the social media site X on Wednesday that he believed he had offered his opinion writers a reasonable alternative to a traditional endorsement. He said they should \u201cdraft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn addition, the Board was asked to provide their understanding of the policies and plans enunciated by the candidates during this campaign and its potential effect on the nation in the next four years,\u201d he added. \u201cIn this way, with this clear and non-partisan information side-by-side, our readers could decide who would be worthy of being President for the next four years.\u201d\u00a0 LA Times<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Guess they just couldn’t stand trying to be even a little impartial?\u00a0 In LA, though, the LA Times workers’ guild pleaded with subscribers to stick with the paper – saying their jobs depend on subscribers.
