“ Billionaire Jeff Bezos defended blocking The Washington Post‘s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris in an op-ed on Monday, claiming the decision was a “principled” one and that there was no quid-pro-quo arrangement with any presidential candidate.”

Really?

So why not last year? Why in the weeks before the election when NOT EVEN THE PAPER KNEW???

Rich people really are just rich.

But smart? Not so much.

@ExecutiveFunction404 @JV3MJD the whole thing is hilarious, what bothers me is that legacy media in their headlines say “ Trump supporters flood stadium “ or things like that , when I was looking for this video that is what I found and in reality the place was half empty.

I know. I keep hearing about it. I never put much emphasis on rally sizes as a harbinger of candidate popularity, but I love that it's getting under his skin.

How long until he starts locking his own supporters in so they can't leave & "disrespect him"? 🙃

One reason some Maga and hate accounts get around social media tos or being picked up by resistor or reporters is they misspell or replace words. Or they put their message into a picture or video. How you wind up finding it is usually through a connected account that used a known misspelling, phrase, or substitute word.

@TheresaVermont that is why I find odd that the daughter of the owner of the LA Times blocked the endorsement for VP Harris , that is a bad excuse.

I am angry about what happened and continues to happen in Gaza. I've been following (and donating) to a family of educators who have just about been wiped out by Israeli aggression. If you are angry about the devastation in Gaza, as I am, remember that Netanyahu has been talking to Trump almost daily, not Biden or Harris. Trump and his fascist cronies do not support any aid to Gaza.

I have never heard him sing and probably I won’t like his music and I’m so thankful that people like him or Taylor Swift are supporting VP Harris , and I’m so thankful also for the idiot who made the mistake of calling Puerto Rico what he called it just before the elections, it was perfect timing.

“ Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny signaled support for Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, ”

Finally someone is doing something about it;

“Philadelphia’s district attorney asked a state judge on Monday to shut down tech billionaire Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million giveaway to registered voters, calling it an “illegal lottery scheme.”

@POOetryma if she did too bad , I know that what is happening in Gaza is not right, it is horrible but by not endorsing VP Harris will make the situation even worse, Trump said that he would let Netanyahu do whatever he wanted to do , he is doing it anyway but then we have Ukraine and it will be worse. Whoever blocked the endorsement is bad and I’m happy that people with principles in both news outlets resigned, I hope both start doing what others are doing, like Aaron Rupar or Mehdi Hasan.

@Jorro It's alleged that the owner's daughter, who apparently has a history of meddling in the paper's business, was involved in the decision, a claim the owner denies.

“ As at the LA Times, Post staff were horrified. Many of the most prestigious columnists, including Karen Attiah, Max Boot, E.J. Dionne, Jr., Dana Milbank, Eugene Robinson, and Jennifer Rubin, signed a collective opinion column protesting the decision. Editor-at-Large Robert Kagan resigned, as did columnist Michele Norris.”

Turns out that two more editorial board members of the LA Times resigned on Thursday , one day after another member resigned the day before, it wasn’t only because the owner decided not to endorse VP Harris , it was also because he posted on the former that the whole editorial board decided not to endorse her, the liar owner lied about it and the three members resigned in protest for that lie also .
