David Remnick criticized Jeff Bezos for blocking The Washington Post's endorsement of Kamala Harris just days before the election, claiming it was a misguided act that endangered democracy.
Remnick expressed that Bezos's justification for ending endorsements was unfounded, especially given the circumstances of a dangerously popular figure like Trump on the verge of winning.
The decision led to significant backlash, with over 250,000 readers canceling subscriptions and former Post journalists voicing strong disapproval, highlighting the perceived ethical breach.
Remnick emphasized the responsibility of journalists to uphold rigorous standards and acknowledge the interests of their audience, contrasting this with Bezos’s controversial intervention.
