Washington Post Hit With 200,000-Plus Subscriber Cancelations After Jeff Bezos Nixed Presidential Endorsement: Report
More than 200,000 people canceled Washington Post subscriptions after owner Jeff Bezos blocked the newspaper from endorsing a presidential candidate.
More than 200,000 people have canceled their subscriptions to the Washington Post — about 8% of its base — after Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner and founder of Amazon, barred the editorial board from running a presidential endorsement, according to a report. Reached by Variety, a Washington Post rep declined to comment on the report, noting that as a private company it doesn’t share subscriber numbers. Under Jeff Bezos’s ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process.”
