Bezos was scared shitless of Trump coming down on Amazon so he decided not to endorse Kamala. :oldlol:

When Donald Trump first ran for president, he began to threaten that Amazon and Jeff Bezos would pay the price. “If I become president — oh, do they have problems. They’re going to have such problems,” he warned. Trump’s grievance with Amazon was centered on Bezos’s ownership of the Washington Post, a connection the president did nothing to disguise. He raged at what he called the “Amazon Washington Post,” claiming spuriously that it had avoided “internet taxes.” In 2018, Gabriel Sherman reported that Trump was “obsessed” with retribution against Bezos for the Post’s coverage.

“Every hour, we’re getting calls from reporters from the Washington Post asking ridiculous questions,” he ranted at one point, “And I will tell you: This is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos, who controls Amazon. Amazon is getting away with murder, taxwise. He’s using the Washington Post for power.”

In 2019, Trump found his lever. Amazon was due to receive a $10 billion cloud-computing contract from the Pentagon. The Pentagon suddenly shifted course and denied Amazon the contract. A former speechwriter for Defense Secretary James Mattis reported that Trump had directed Mattis to “screw Amazon.”

This is the context in which the Post’s decision to spike its planned endorsement of Kamala Harris should be considered.

And yet there are still some people out there that think she’s going to win.

The writing has been on the wall for weeks now. She’s a sinking ship and Trump was right not to debate her again. He didn’t have to.

LA Times also not endorsing either candidate.

A decision by the owner of the Los Angeles Times not to endorse in the 2024 presidential race — after the paper’s editorial board proposed backing Kamala Harris — has created a tempest, prompting three members of the board to resign and provoking thousands of readers to cancel their subscriptions.

Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong said that his decision not to offer readers a recommendation would be less divisive in a tumultuous election year.

“I have no regrets whatsoever. In fact, I think it was exactly the right decision,” he said in an interview with The Times on Friday afternoon. “The process was [to decide]: how do we actually best inform our readers? And there could be nobody better than us who try to sift the facts from fiction” while leaving it to readers to make their own final decision.

He said he feared that picking one candidate would only exacerbate the already deep divisions in the country.

Members of the editorial board protested that the non-endorsement was out of step with recent precedent at the newspaper, which has picked a presidential candidate in every election since 2008, and with The Times’ previous editorial position, which has been ardently opposed to former President Trump.

A lot of liberals are melting down over this and canceling their Washington Post subscription. Some are like, "F*ck the Washington Post." And that it undermines our democracy.

I wonder if any ISH memebers cancelled their subscription over this. Perhaps RRR3?

let me guess, in a couple of days some MAGA supporter thinking he's smart will tweet about falling subscription rates to these 2 newspapers while conveniently omitting the same subscription rates to other newspapers and in general the fall of all paper media (as it has been for the better part of 2 decades).
