Nor in any future presidential election,” Post publisher Will Lewis said in a statement. “We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.” The Post reported the decision not to endorse was made by the newspaper’s billionaire owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, citing two sources briefed on the matter. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/media/washington-post-wont-endorse-presidential-candidate?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_msn I am of the opinion that all news media should refrain from political endorsements. The bias show by news sources is ridiculous and both sides are guilty; although the liberal establishment is much greater in size. Report the news without bias and let the audience decide. Opinions are for talk shows or forums. -- Dr. Auric D. Hellman adhellman1@gmail.com
