On Saturday, legendary Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein called out the paper’s owner Jeff Bezos for the decision to quash the planned endorsement of Kamala Harris.

“We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post’s own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy,” the duo said in a joint statement posted on social media.

“Under Jeff Bezos’ ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy,” the statement continues.
