Amid Backlash, Jeff Bezos Defends Ending Washington Post Presidential Endorsements: They ‘Create a Perception of Bias’
Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, defended the paper's decision to stop endorsing U.S. presidential candidates.
Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, asserted that “no quid pro quo of any kind” was involved in his paper’s decision to stop endorsing U.S. presidential candidates. The billionaire’s response came after more than 200,000 readers reportedly have canceled their subscriptions to the newspaper since the decision was announced last Friday, per NPR. Critics interpreted the Post’s move to stop endorsing presidential candidates as an attempt by Bezos to curry favor with Donald Trump — or, conversely, to avoid getting attacked by Trump — in the event the former president wins a second term in the White House.
