The Washington Post is not endorsing a presidential candidate this year, for the first time since 1988. The editorial is bylined by publisher and CEO Will Lewis.
Sources told NPR that the newspaper’s owner, Jeff Bezos, hired Lewis last year “in part for his ability to get along with powerful conservative figures, including [Rupert] Murdoch.” According to Columbia Journalism Review, a draft endorsing Harris had already been approved by an editor a week before it was suddenly killed.
