Common Dreams: 'This Is Cowardice': Billionaire Owner Jeff Bezos Stops Washington Post From Endorsing Harris

Guardian: Furor over Washington Post’s decision to not endorse presidential candidate: ‘Stab in the back’, ‘dying in darkness’

> Employees outraged at ‘chicken-shit’ move that breaks 30-year precedent, alleging Jeff Bezos quashed Harris support

Daily Beast: Is This The Reason Bezos-Owned WaPo Didn’t Endorse Harris?

> Donald Trump met with executives at Blue Origin today—the space company owned and operated by Jeff Bezos.

Trump met with David Limp, the company’s CEO, and Megan Mitchell, its vice president of government relations, after an early afternoon press conference on “border security and migrant crime” held by Trump in Austin, Texas at Million Air, a private aircraft terminal housed within Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Of course, people like Bezos only loves money. They are preparing for Trump presidency by mollycoddling him.

Hill: Turd-shaped monument ‘honoring’ Jan. 6 mob installed on National Mall

I disagree. Turd can be used as manure for growing plants. MAGA cult Jan 6 ers were there to destroy democracy, which in Trumpolini's memory was a "lovefest".

Daily Beast: Jeff Bezos Overrode His Own Publisher to Kill Washington Post’s Kamala Harris Endorsement

> The Daily Beast has learned that even Will Lewis, Bezos‘ hand-picked publisher, fought Bezos “tooth and nail” from squelching the prepared editorial endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

> The news organization’s most senior opinion columnists Friday night fired back at Bezos for blocking publication of the endorsement—at a time when Donald Trump’s positions “directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.”

“The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love, and for which we have worked a combined 218 years,” they wrote.

Salon: Billionaires have broken media: Washington Post’s non-endorsement is a sickening moral collapse

> The shocking decision by The Washington Post not to make an endorsement in the presidential election — breaking with a decadeslong tradition — is an extremely powerful statement. A non-endorsement says Donald Trump is a reasonable choice.

It says: We are so terrified of a Trump presidency that we are bending the knee in advance. Most importantly, it makes clear that owner Jeff Bezos doesn’t want to lose government business in a second Trump administration.

> This makes it more clear than ever: You cannot be a truly independent news organization if you are owned by an oligarch.

Politico: Freedom Caucus leader endorses radical proposal for North Carolina to hand its electoral votes to Trump

> The chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus says the North Carolina Legislature should consider allocating the state’s presidential electors to Donald Trump even before votes are counted in the swing state.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) said Thursday that such a step by North Carolina’s Republican-controlled Legislature “makes a lot of sense” given the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene in the western part of the state. Counties in that region are expected to vote heavily for Trump.

@User1865345 What is it with this fascist and cats?

First he spread ridiculous lies about immigrants eating them, and now he mentions on a podcast named after them that he wants to deport a US citizen for having the courage to stand up to him...

User1865345

I cannot say here. Probably he loves....

Jokes apart. If this rhetoric is not fascist, nothing will.

@Nzall that also means another thing: justice will be done according to Trumpolini's whimsy.

Can't be more fatal stab in the heart of democracy.

"Stop Donating To Wikipedia, Controlled By Far-Left Activists": Elon Musk

Musk's election falsehoods travel hundreds of times further on X than fact-checks from officials

> Let’s be clear:
@elonmusk
is spreading dangerous disinformation.

Here are the facts:

There aren’t more voters than citizens in Michigan. There are 7.2 million active registered voters and 7.9 citizens of voting age in our state.

Musk is pushing a misleading number that includes 1.2 million inactive records slated for removal in accordance with the law.

Musk is single handedly destroying democracy.

Guardian Editorial: On political endorsement: a note from our editor

> It has never been clearer that media ownership matters to democracy. The Guardian is not billionaire-owned, nor do we have shareholders. We are supported by readers and owned by the Scott Trust, which guarantees our editorial independence in perpetuity. Nobody influences our journalism. We are fiercely independent and accountable only to you, our readers.

The stakes of this election could not be higher. Fearless journalism and an informed public are bedrocks of our democracy, and it is an abdication of our duty as journalists to sit out this election out of self-interest. A Guardian edit…
