The decision to not endorse Kamala Harris is more than just too little, too late. These newspapers are disingenuous and patently unserious.
Liberals are incensed over the decision by the editorial boards of The Washington Post, The L.A. Times, and USA Today to not endorse Kamala Harris for president. The decisions have provoked endless reporting and commentary across the media, while editorial board members have resigned and hundreds of thousands of readers have canceled their subscriptions.
Defending the decision, Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, noted in an Oct. 28 op-ed that this year Gallup found that the journalistic profession “is now the least trusted of all.” Presidential endorsements, Bezos argues, “do nothing to tip the scales of an election” but rather “create a perception of bias.” Refraining from endorsing a presidential candidate is thus “a meaningful step in the right direction” to restore the integrity of corporate media in the eyes of the American media.
Yet for a profession with such a tarnished reputation, obvious bias, and even, dare I say, descent into corruption to ensure certain political outcomes, these decisions are more than just too little, too late. They are disingenuous and patently unserious. For corporate media to get serious about journalistic professionalism, they’d have to fire more than half their staff.

The media doesn’t care. They are biased, they know they are biased, they know we know they are biased, and they just don’t care.
SIMPLE.
DONT WATCH OR READ THE FAKE NEWS TV OR PRINT MEDIA.
IF YOU DONT WATCH OR READ THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
This is the end for the media.
No amount of censorship will save them.
Their "bread and butter" reporting has become their financial ruin.
They are biased.
They want to be biased.
They just don’t want you to be able to perceive their bias.
They want to eliminate that perception of bias.
The obliteration of the Deep State includes the obliteration of their Super PAC propaganda media.
Can’t wait
Clarification: They are not against bias, they are against perception.
Clarification: They are not against bias, they are against perception.
Most of the media want to be mouthpieces for the Democratic party, and are doing a good job pushing Dem propaganda. Why would they fire anyone?
Staff is just a symptom
It’s top down usually
Look at Larry Fink promoting DEI
David Zaslav at Warner over CNN
The Shulzbergers at NYT
And so on and on
It’s how these folks think
News and entertainment they push their vision on those under them top down
Reed Hastings at Netflix
They think nothing of insisting on gay storylines or emphasized women roles
Ask Taylor Sheridan
I personally was a party (as a tagalong)to a Nickelodeon meet where the pitch went well till they insisting on a gay angle
For corporate media to get serious about journalistic professionalism, they’d have to fire more than half their staff.

Back in the day, Bezo’s had an all time brilliant idea (Amazon Online buying/delivery) that changed the world and was able to double down with some amazing management and sustainment skills.
But, he’s dumb as a post politically and should sell his interest in WAPO. I remember Newsweek selling for one dollar.
I am hoping MUSK buys the NYT & the WaPo for $1 each & closes them down.
BTTT
Their “straight news” routinely attacks conservative Christians while celebrating leftist ideologues, with the goal of opening the Overton Window in favor of the most extreme leftist causes, such as its promotion of gay marriage and then trans identity.
And they refuse to take seriously widespread concerns with election integrity, despite years of evidence-based reporting from such journalists as Mollie Hemingway, and Mark Zuckerberg publicly acknowledging social media yielding to Democrat pressure. Anything that might threaten the credential class’s hold on power is flippantly labeled “disinformation.”
