Washington Post Faces Subscriber Backlash: Jeff Bezos Reacts to Kamala Harris Endorsement Decision
Jeff Bezos defended the Washington Post’s decision not to endorse Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election after the paper reportedly lost over 200,000 subscribers in just two days.
This decision was criticized by many, including staff members, who felt it undermined the paper’s role in guiding public opinion during a crucial election year.
Bezos described the choice as “principled,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining journalistic independence.
Critics, however, argued that this move reflects a troubling trend among media owned by billionaires.
