Jeff Bezos's Washington Post abandons plan to back Harris in the election
ChainCatcher news, Amazon founder and owner of The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, stated that the decision for the newspaper to stop endorsing presidential candidates addresses the "credibility gap" troubling the media industry. "Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn't see this is not paying enough attention to reality."
Bezos also mentioned that The Washington Post's actions were unrelated to former President Trump's meeting with executives from his other company, Blue Origin, on the day the announcement was made.
It is reported that The Washington Post's publisher, William Lewis, announced on October 25 that the newspaper would no longer take sides in presidential campaigns, a practice it has frequently engaged in since 1978. The editorial staff had originally prepared to endorse Harris. (Jin Shi)
