I'm surprised how little you do hear about anyone addressing Elon's moves. I'd hope some agency is watching him at least.

One of the biggest stories on the planet, and no one seems to care

This goes for all Person X connected to Russia since the mid-2010s.

I don’t like his movies, but how did he sell his soul? Nothing but black people be at his movies. He’s giving his audience what they want.

Yeah, I don't understand the sold his soul thing. His movies are basically the same every time and they're not really funny to me, but there's obviously an audience for them. And that audience is church-going, black folks. I see no issue with what he does, outside of his movies being terrible.

"The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told colleagues that the Post's publisher, Will Lewis, would publish a note to readers online early Friday afternoon.

Shipley told colleagues the editorial board was told yesterday by management that there would not be an endorsement. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.

Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.

A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members.

The Post's investigative team has routinely reported on wrongdoing and allegations of illegality by former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, and his associates. The editorial board, which is operated apart from the newsroom, has repeatedly declared that Trump's actions in office and his rhetoric as a candidate have rendered him unfit for office.

It has especially focused on what he did in January 2021 to encourage his supporters to deny the formal certification of President Biden's election.

The possibility that the Post might withhold an endorsement was first reported by Oliver Darcy's newsletter Status. Even the potential lack of an editorial has drawn shock from journalists within the Post, who see it as a major American publication that needs to weigh in on the most pressing issue of the day."

“we are talking over each other I apologize”-“
Brett Baier

That was the first interview I had ever seen from him, he must be really feeling himself. That was shameful if you ask me. Respect to her for keeping her cool, I would have ended that thing ASAP were it me, but that’s probably what he was driving at. My thoughts ‘I would have punched buddy in the right in the mouth open handed’

Thankfully she took the higher road. Dude had the nerve to end the interview with something like they are pushing me to wrap but I hope you got to say what you wanted about Trump. She begins to thank him and wrap and immediately he starts talking over her again. Dude really got to me.

They don't care

Washington Post Says It Won’t Endorse a Presidential Candidate

Will Lewis, the company’s chief executive, said the paper was “returning to our roots” of not endorsing presidential candidates.

Indeed, they don't.

This is simply cowardice. these people are not journalists, they're mouthpieces for whoever owns them.
