The Washington Post and LA Times just stepped into a bigger political mess than the one they tried to avoid [View all]
When is something a newspaper doesn't publish a news story?
In this case, that's right now. And it's actually two stories: The Washington Post won't be endorsing a presidential candidate this year. The move comes days after the Los Angeles Times made the same decision.
The obvious parallel between the two calls is that both newspapers are owned by very wealthy men. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who owns the Los Angeles Times, is worth a reported $6 billion; Jeff Bezos, who owns the Post, is worth a reported $194 billion, making him the third-richest person in the world.
And there are other similarities between the two non-decisions: The rationale behind the moves, for instance, is being communicated quite clumsily.
