The Washington Post isn’t alone: Roughly 3/4 of major American newspapers aren’t endorsing anyone for president this year
Post owner Jeff Bezos, the man behind the non-endorsement call, didn’t help things with a tone-deaf op-ed packed with C-minus arguments. Using a database of newspaper endorsements from The American Presidency Project at UC Santa Barbara, I tracked how many of the 100 highest-circulation newspapers had declined to endorse for president. The trend line is rather clear:In five election cycles, endorsing for president went from a “nearly everybody” thing to a “barely half” thing. In 2020, seven of those endorsed Joe Biden; one, the Boston Herald, endorsed Donald Trump. So, big picture: Roughly 3 out of 4 major American newspapers have stopped endorsing for president — something that nearly all of them did just twenty years ago.
