'Jeff Bezos has so far declined to comment on the situation, even as his own paper’s journalists reported that it was Bezos who ultimately spiked the planned endorsement. A source with knowledge told CNN on Friday that an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris had been drafted before it was squashed.' (CNN, excerpts)
'In the last 24 hours, at least one editor has resigned, and high-profile Post staffers have publicly expressed their dismay as many in the paper’s Opinion section are furious over how the situation was handled.'
'Former Post executive editor Marty Baron, who led the paper under Bezos during the first Trump administration called the decision an act o'f “cowardice.”
“To declare a moment of high principle, only 11 days before the election that is just highly suspect that is just not to be believed that this was a matter of principle at this point,” 'Baron told CNN’s Michael Smerconish on Saturday morning.'
“Bezos has other commercial interests, a big stake and Amazon, he has a space company called Blue Origin,”' Baron said. ' “Trump has threatened to pursue his political enemies and he rewards his friends and he punishes his perceived political and think there’s no other explanation for what’s happening right now.”
'Robert Kagan, a Post columnist and opinion editor-at-large who had been with the paper for 25 years, publicly resigned on Friday as a direct result of the non-endorsement.'
“This is obviously an effort by Jeff Bezos to curry favor with Donald Trump in the anticipation of his possible victory,” 'Kagan told CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Friday.'
“Trump has threatened to go after Bezos’ business. Bezos runs one of the largest companies in America. They have tremendously intricate relations with federal government. They depend on the federal government.”
'On Friday, Trump met with executives from Blue Origin, the space exploration company owned by Bezos, hours after the Post announced its decision Friday. The company has a $3.4 billion contract with the federal government to build a new spacecraft to scuttle astronauts to and from the moon’s surface.'
'Trump advisers and supporters have been crowing since both the Post and the Los Angeles Times’ 'billionaire owners stepped in to prevent their papers from endorsing Harris. (CNN) See link below.
