She would be a Potomac Joan of Arc
The non-endorsement is the new endorsement! Hot on the heels of the Los Angeles Times’s decision not to endorse a candidate in the presidential race, a controversial call made by the paper’s owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong that has been met with multiple staff resignations, the Washington Post is following suit.
A statement published Friday reads: “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”
Public statements from leading Post personalities have been aghast. Columnist Karen Attiah tweeted, “Jesus Christ.” Then, an hour later, “…” Then an hour later still, “What an absolute stab in the back. What an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line, to call out threats to human rights and democracy.”
Of most interest to Cockburn, however, were the remarks of fellow columnist and MSNBC mainstay Jennifer Rubin to the LA Times resignations earlier in the week. In response to Sewell Chan’s resignation from the Times, she wrote, “Bravo. All respect.” Followed by, “and where are the rest of them?”
The implication is clear: now that her paper, too, is refusing to endorse the sainted Kamala Harris, Rubin must be set to join the charge of resignations in disgust, along with Robert Kagan, as a sort-of Potomac Joan of Arc. The prospect brings a tear to Cockburn’s eye. Such bravery.

Someone has a very overinflated opinion of themselves.
Happy trails to you, until we hopefully (do not) meet again.

All of these leftist clowns can be replaced by AI.
Leftist propaganda has no need for humans.
Brilliant move by the owners....
The lefties can walk out the door heads held high and bragging about their virtue...
While the owner points and laughs.
Who knew “columnists” put their lives on the line like logging workers, steel workers, & soldiers.

I think I’ve linked it three times. Now thanks to you I won’t need to. Mine were about people who betrayed Trump——so I could have cited a dozen a year.
Great song.

I havent heard Hugh Hewitt in years.
Does he still have her on his show?
She looks like she’s been dead a week.

Resign Rubin. Go put on your own. Lol
Best she think long and hard about giving up her overpaid cushy job. Do these ivory tower “journalists” know that print newspapers are dying out?
Market economics is not your typical lefty’s strong suit.
They think the government should order you to read their propaganda—or failing that they should be paid for it by the government whether you read it or not.
In addition schools should put their opinions on tests as the only possible correct answer—democracy, ya know.
Lol.
I quit listening too.
