The Washington Post is not making a presidential endorsement because Bezos fears retaliation if Trump wins.
Democracy dies in cowardice.

@dfeldman Predictive submission to authoritarian rule.
This is us. We are cowards. And those cowards are the same people who are loudest shouting ”freedom!”

@gimulnautti @dfeldman This piece of news is probably better for the Harris campaign than an actual endorsement would have been. It would be more worrying if Bezos was adjusting the editorial policy of the Post in order to placate Trump. Hopefully thay isn't happening (yet). At least there had been a lot of unavailable coverage of Musk lately.

@kallekn @dfeldman We will see. If it ends up in Trump losing, it could be. If Trump wins, Bezos wins. But if he loses, this kind of behaviour can be held to account.
