Washington Post Surprise: Paper Now Won’t Endorse Presidential Candidates

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of navigating complex digital landscapes, I find myself oddly drawn to this decision by The Washington Post. I’ve seen countless questlines unfold, some with clear paths and others shrouded in mystery, but none quite like this.

The Washington Post has chosen not to support any presidential candidate this year, marking the first time they’ve made such a decision since 1988.

In a note to employees, The Washington Post’s CEO, Will Lewis, announced that the newspaper would not be supporting any presidential candidate in the upcoming election or any future presidential elections. Instead, they will revert to their traditional practice of abstaining from endorsing presidential candidates.

When justifying the phone call, Lewis referred to a 1960 editorial opinion piece expressing the newspaper’s stance of not endorsing presidential candidates back then. Additionally, he aimed to ward off potential criticism regarding this choice.

As a supporter, I acknowledge that my words might be interpreted in various ways, such as favoring one candidate or criticizing another, or perhaps avoiding responsibility. However, I don’t view it this way. Instead, I see it as aligning with the principles The Post has always upheld – integrity, bravery, and a commitment to American values: respect for rule of law, admiration for human freedom, and adherence to our core principles. Furthermore, I see it as empowering our readers to exercise their own judgement on this crucial decision – choosing the next president, a choice that has significant implications for our nation.

More to come.
