The Washington Post has stirred controversy by announcing it will not endorse any presidential candidate in the upcoming 2024 election, a decision reportedly influenced by owner Jeff Bezos. This marks the first time the paper has opted out of endorsing a candidate in decades, prompting uproar among staff and readers alike. Resignations of key editors followed, with former editor Marty Baron criticizing the decision as cowardly. The L.A. Times also joined in this controversial move, raising questions about the future of editorial endorsements in major U.S. newspapers.
