Jeff Bezos Allegedly Blocked Washington Post's Endorsement Of VP Kamala Harris, Paper Reports

The Washington Post's recent decision to cease endorsing presidential candidates has sparked controversy and accusations of censorship. The Post reported that its editorial staff had drafted an endorsement for Kamala Harris, but the decision not to publish was made by owner Jeff Bezos, according to sources. Publisher Will Lewis defended the move, asserting that Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, and The Post's owner, had no involvement. The Washington Post endorsed Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden over Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. In 2019, Amazon claimed in a lawsuit that it lost a $10 billion Pentagon contract to Microsoft due to Trump's improper pressure against Jeff Bezos.
