Jeff Bezos killed
—Washington Post endorsement...
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.
B-b-but my freedom of the press 
Democracy dies on Bezos’ yacht.
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.
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 
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.
Lol. Lmao, even.
The boug are getting cold feet
Jeff Bezos, welcome to the resistance

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
