he infamous Washington Post reporters who uncovered Watergate have slammed the paper's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate.
The Washington Post announced on Friday that it would not back a presidential candidate, marking the first time in 36 years that the left-leaning paper has declined to do so.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein later released a joint statement to CNN in which they expressed their disappointment in the Post's decision.

The issue isn’t that they failed to enforce a candio. It is that they refused to endorse Harris that has them upset.
Does any of these folks melting down honestly think that the WaPo’s non-endorsement of Kamala is going to swing DC, MD or VA to Trump? I doubt it. They’re angry that the WaPo won’t go on record officially opposing Trump. And why won’t Bezos do that? The obvious answer is that Bezos expects Trump to win and calculates insufficient benefit in officially opposing the inevitable. It’s this tacit admission that Trump will win that’s what is actually ticking them all off
If she were to become President, she’d make fools out of them all and they know it.
Bernstein and Woodward - two-bit piles of lyin’ dogsqueeze.
So...
- Teamsters
- Firefighters
- Arab Americans
- LA Times
- Washington Post
These entities regularly endorse the Dhims candidate, but now refuse to endorse Kemala.
It has to be something wrong with Kemala that they refused to do it...
Woodward was an Intelligence Community operative before joining the Post. He was a plant. And, fed directly by Mark Felts, whose day job at the FBI was literally to leak information to embarrass politicians that crossed the FBI.
Oh, and 4 of the Watergate burglars were on the payroll of the CIA.
The Post hired William Lewis as its new publisher and CEO, who started on January 2, 2024, (Source) and Robert Winnett, former deputy editor of The Telegraph Media Group, as editor, starting right after the presidential election (Source).
It is obvious that simply being a mouthpiece for the Democrat Part and the CIA wasn't a viable path to success, hence the refusal to back a 2024 candidate.
I think an investigation is called for - or in democrat speech “we need to have a discussion “ as to what’s so wrong with Mrs Emhoff that those entities refuse to endorse her.
Exactly. What is the Wapo, racist? Or maybe they hate women!
since when is there some requirement that a media outlet MUST endorse any candidate for any office? me and wifey both DESPISE those who try to impose their qwap on us. we make our own decisions. remember friends, “conservatives seek agreement while liberals demand compliance” L.Star
I think you are right. At this stage in the game it won’t make that much difference to the outcome anyway, so at the very least, Bezos is hedging his bets. But, if he thinks she will win and then she does and he did not endorse her, it could hurt him in many ways so he must think she will not win.
Watergate was a media coup against a sitting, popular president who the Media hated.
The first time in 36 years that they didnt endorse a DEMOCRATIC candidate. There, I corrected it
Yahoo Finance says it was Bezos that stopped the WaaaaaaPo’s endorsement of the embarrassment...first and foremost, he’s a businessman...
They feel it’s a good time for them to finally pretend to be objective
ATT funds that radical left wing website .
ATT funds many radical left sites .
Dont use ATT .
With so much early voting that started a week ago or longer, I wish they hadn’t waited so long to diss the hyena.
