Is this Streisand effect going on? By not endorsing they got more people engaged then if they had?
I would read what he wrote, but I already canceled my subscription. Alas.
Huh. Weird. Bezos’s face is different from how it used to be. He’s definitely gotten gender affirming surgery (testosterone or some cheek squaring plastic surgery)
He’s going full lex Luther
If literally nobody gives a shit about the endorsement then blocking it is a pointless gesture and not going to increase credibility with anyone by his own admission, Is what I would say if it wasn’t obviously another billionaire oligarch putting his finger on the scale of democracy then saying it isn’t or it’s justified.
The number of subscriptions has gone down by 10% already. That’s what happens when billionaires interfere with media, apparently.
People should hit him where it hurts, Amazon.
Lol. It wasn’t the “Washington Post” who decided that. It was the owner.
World’s second most punchable face.
I would say third, after Donald and musk
Ajit Pai will always have the worlds most punchable face.
Donnie’s got Il Duce face, which means it’s more kickable.
If there are two parties, and one says it’s raining, and the other says it isn’t, it’s not the news media’s job to give an unbiased report on the debate, it’s their job to look out the fucking window and say whether or not it’s raining.
Smells like an anti-editorial absolutist. Wow so objective. Much truth.
Wtf is wrong with being biased against out and proud fascists.
It’s not even bias… My hatred for fascists is well-founded, thank you very much
“Dave Limp, the chief executive of one of my companies, Blue Origin, met with former president Donald Trump on the day of our announcement,” Bezos wrote. “I sighed when I found out, because I knew it would provide ammunition to those who would like to frame this as anything other than a principled decision. But the fact is, I didn’t know about the meeting beforehand. Even Limp didn’t know about it in advance; the meeting was scheduled quickly that morning. There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false.”
“Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, ‘I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.’ None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one,” Bezos wrote
“Democracy dies with billionaires.”
Tax your rich assholes America.
Been trying to I promise! Trouble is, the rich assholes took over the asylum
how exactly is it that any kind of endorsement creates a “perception of bias”? is he trying to argue that all opinions are biased? and if so, why doesn’t he say anything to support that claim?
Bezos is a fascist
“Democracy died in broad daylight”
