Deterioration of the Washington Post’s subscriber base continued on Tuesday, hours after its proprietor, Jeff Bezos, defended the decision to forgo formally endorsing a presidential candidate as part of an effort to restore trust in the media.
The publication has now shed 250,000 subscribers, or 10% of the 2.5 million customers it had before the decision was made public on Friday, according to the NPR reporter David Folkenflik.
@rpardee Hope his advertising base notices and demands much lower rates or stops advertising at all there

Bezos didn't help at all. It would have been better if he had not said anything at all. I feel like he just made it worse.
@NorthernInvader
Now do Amazon!
@Gardenthyme I need Amazon
@NorthernInvader dang!
