‘Post’ owner Jeff Bezos defends the decision to not endorse a candidate, saying he wanted to avoid the appearance of bias. When Martin Baron was executive editor of the ‘Post,’ he says owner Bezos
always stood up for the paper’s editorial independence in the face of pressure from former U.S. president Donald Trump. But now that the paper has decided not to endorse a presidential candidate,
reportedly at its billionaire owner’s behest, Baron no longer believes that to be the case.
