The Washington Post's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in 36 years, reportedly ordered by Jeff Bezos, has sparked significant backlash.
The Post's decision resulted in the cancellation of up to 200,000 subscriptions within 48 hours, highlighting the potential fragility of the already struggling newspaper.
Hundreds of journalists at the Post feel threatened by the decision, uncertain about their employer's viability and the future of local news coverage.
While public outcry led to cancellations of Amazon Prime subscriptions, such actions are unlikely to impact Bezos or Amazon significantly, given the vast scale of its operations.
