The Washington Post announced it would not endorse a candidate for the first time in over 30 years, igniting strong reactions from both readers and staff.
Critics, including staff reporters and prominent past journalists like Bob Woodward, expressed their disappointment, stating the decision undermined the integrity of the paper's own reporting on Trump.
Readers were split on the decision; some expressed deep shame at the paper's failure to uphold its principles during a crucial election, while others saw merit in the approach.
The newspaper's decision led to a wave of subscription cancellations, with many readers feeling betrayed, prompting staff to call for support to weather the backlash.
