Editor resigns, subscribers cancel as Washington Post non-endorsement prompts crisis at Bezos paper | Semafor

The Washington Post says it is returning to an earlier tradition of not endorsing.

@Mediagazer @mastodonmigration I went on Apple News and blocked LA Times and WaPo so I won’t see their stories any more.
@Mediagazer @mastodonmigration Also I didn’t have a WaPo subscription but @LaurelCo did and she’s just cancelled it.
@Mediagazer There's no forgiveness for this.
@Mediagazer Reminder to support news outlets that are doing the right thing. If you cancel your subscription over an issue like this, take action to find and subscribe to or send support to at least as many as you canceled!

@Mediagazer

This is the time for cancel culture to speak truth to rich fucks 🤬

@Mediagazer I canceled my Audible subscription today. Fuck Bezos.

@Mediagazer

Guess Bezos has his own paper megaphone now…

@Mediagazer. I just cancelled my WaPo subscription. Now I'm making plans to extricate myself from Amazon. I've wanted to do this for a long time. The straw that broke was unusually large and loud. My apologies to the Camel.

@Mediagazer kudos to him. Way back in May 2016, months before Trump was even elected, Kagan wrote this prescient piece https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/this-is-how-fascism-comes-to-america/2016/05/17/c4e32c58-1c47-11e6-8c7b-6931e66333e7_story.html
This is how fascism comes to America

Instead of an expression of liberty, the Trump phenomenon is a threat to it.
