Washington Post Faces Subscriber Exodus Over Non-Endorsement Decision

Jeff Bezos defends the move as a step towards unbiased journalism amid backlash and accusations of political maneuvering.

More than 250,000 subscribers have canceled their Washington Post subscriptions following the decision not to endorse a presidential candidate.
Jeff Bezos, the paper's owner, argues that endorsements create a perception of bias in an already distrusted media landscape.
Critics, including former Post staff and commentators like Megyn Kelly, suggest the move may be an attempt to curry favor with Donald Trump.
The decision has led to resignations within the Post's editorial board and widespread criticism from both internal and external sources.
Similar non-endorsement decisions by other major newspapers, like the Los Angeles Times, have sparked debates about press freedom and media ownership.
