The Left is raging over The Washington Post refraining from endorsing Kamala Harris for president. Two editors quit over it, and X leftists are burning up the platform.
The most bizarre post is this one:
Fmr. WAPO Editor says WAPO’s decision not to endorse Kamala is a โsign of weaknessโ that will damage the outlet’s reputation of “independent” reporting:
โ[Itโs] deeply concerning because they need to continue with their mission of independent journalism.”
Incredible.

Endorsing Kamala Harris is independent? Huh?
Potato said it is because Jeff Bezos is afraid. We can’t say why, but Harris isn’t good for business or Amazon. The outlet said they won’t endorse in the future and are returning to their roots. Let’s hope so.
NEW: CNN Propagandist Brian Stelter says WAPO not endorsing Kamala means Jeff Bezos might be โrolling overโ to appease Trump:
“This is known by some scholars as anticipatory obedience.”
STELTER: “The overarching story here is about a concern that billionaires like Bezos mightโฆ pic.twitter.com/zQR1ZKp2Mz

Maybe They Just Want to Be Independent
The Postโs chief executive Sir William Lewis wrote online that the newspaper would not endorse any candidates in future elections.
โWe are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,โ he said.
โWe recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility.
โThat is inevitable. We donโt see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects.โ
