Raw Story  

For the first time in 36 years The Washington Post, owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, will not endorse a candidate in the presidential race. "It is not clear whether Post owner Jeff Bezos or Publisher/CEO Will Lewis made the call," Folkenflik adds. Former Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron told Folkenflik, "This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty." "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos," Baron added. Michael McDonald, a professor of political science who specializes in American elections wrote: "Democracy Dies In Darkness Isn’t a motto for the Washington Post, It’s a mantra."
