lol I remember libs saying Bezos had no influence over what WP publishes
so he was okay with endorsing Hillary and Biden but not Kamala? hmmm
that's how you know kamala is actually a far left woke communist
Similar happenings at the Los Angeles Times, as the article mentions:
The announcement came days after Mariel Garza, the head of The Los Angeles Times’s editorial board, resigned in protest after that paper’s owner Patrick Soon-Shiong decided against running a presidential endorsement.
Soon-Shiong is a pharmaceuticals billionaire.
Patrick Soon-Shiong is a South African and American businessman
Sir, another South African has struck the journalism industry.
Democracy die in darkness indeed
we didn't know their slogan was about skin color, but it tracks
My paranoia says that this is a deliberate "leak" to show Kamala is the enemy of the barons, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so this is actually intended to mobilize voters for Kamala
Victor Manuel Rocha, a US diplomat who spied for Cuba, pulled a similar maneuver
Rocha's off-the-cuff remark weeks before the 2002 Bolivian general election threatening to cut American aid to Bolivia over Evo Morales's support for the coca-growers movement has been credited with boosting Morales's Movement for Socialism party in the 2002 Bolivian general election — after that, Morales called Rocha his best "campaign manager"
Shoutout to Manuel Rocha
It's intra-office feuding.
Democracy dies on Bezos’ yacht.
B-b-but my freedom of the press 
She's only giving a 2 billion tax cut to the rich to Trump's 3 billion.
I look forward to all the libs boycotting amazon. It should be very impressive.
Feel this has to be because Bezos thinks Trump has a decent shot at winning and doesn't want to be in his bad side.
I think it's funny to imagine a real person who would have been swayed by a WaPo endorsement. 
For me what makes it funny is that if you are the type of dweeb that makes it to the wapo ed board presidential endorsements are probably the most important thing you can do in your mind, so bezos killing it is just 
Lol. Lmao, even.
The boug are getting cold feet
if it weren't for the absolutely zealous support of genocide I'd almost be tempted to voot bloo just on the off chance some of this antitrust shit goes through
Except I don't live in a swing state so my vote means precisely diddly
Jeff Bezos, welcome to the resistance
Jeff Bezos confirmed PSL supporter
