Betsy Reed, editor of The Guardian US, speaks out about the craven refusal of both Los Angeles Times and Washington Post to endorse Kamala Harris in the election — that is, to reject fascism:

"It has never been clearer that media ownership matters to democracy."

That's it in a nutshell. As long as fascism is good for business elites and rich men, bring it on…. That's what these beyond shameful media outlets are saying.

On the Washington Post and LA Times -- from The Guardian - Democratic Underground Forums

"This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty."

~ Marty Baron, former executive editor of Washingon Post quoted by D. Earl Stephens

Stephens adds,

"When a newspaper with the logo 'Democracy Dies in Darkness' fails to endorse the candidate that stands up for that Democracy, they are not being accurate or credible.

They in fact are completely worthless.

Dead."

BREAKING: The Washington Post Has Died

Its stunning refusal to endorse Kamala Harris is the end of the venerable newspaper ...

Enough Already
@wdlindsy I wonder whether it's cowardice… it may just be self-interest.
@sellathechemist Perhaps it's both, but, like you, I'm inclined to see self-interest as dominant here.
@wdlindsy @sellathechemist I tend to agree... billionaires are untouchable, so fear/cowardice would be irrational.
