On Oct. 25, The Washington Post announced that it would not be endorsing a presidential candidate in the 2024 general election. Bezos published a column in The Post to explain himself days later. Our objection lies in the fact that The Post's Opinion editors or editorial board members did not make this decision — the multi-billionaire at the helm of the ship did. Private capitalist and journalistic interests cannot coexist ethically at such a national organization as The Washington Post. As an influential voice in American politics, voters look to editorial boards like The Washington Post's to make informed judgments during high-stakes elections.
