The Washington Post has now endorsed a candidate

Angela Alsobrooks once worked for WaPo, so it's no surprise that they've given her their endorsement.
 
It's Maryland where it's a very safe bet, too. It would be way more news if they endorsed the Republican.

Does Bezos sees Hogan as a greater threat than Trump to our democracy?

What an astonishingly brave act!


It must have taken real balls to make that known. The controversy unleashed will be tidal!!!!!!

The Washington Post hasn't been relevant beyond its crosswords since the Reagan administration. The Toronto Globe and Mail has better DC coverage than WAPO.

I find it newsworthy that they feel Hogan deserves to be opposed, but Trump doesn't. Where's the logic in that?

Reagan was in favor a path to citizenship.
 
Musk wants to control public opinion. Like many very wealthy people, the power has gone to his ego. He thinks having more wealth means he gets to have more power than a non-wealthy citizen. He thinks he now has the power to control what people think. That's going too far.

Elon Musk? Hear this: You have the power to believe anything you want. You do not have the right to control what others wish to believe. If you try to control the message of the WAPO, or Twitter, then you are overstepping your bounds. Money doesn't make you any better than anybody else. You're just another citizen like anyone else. You live, you die. Just like anyone else. Money can't buy you love nor happiness. And it can't buy you real friends. If you want to fit in on this planet and enjoy the time you have here, try letting others be who they are and MYOB. People might like you more.

My bad. Wrong greedy billionaire. Correction: WaPo is owned by Bezos. Bezos is the one that killed WaPo's endorsement of Harris.

Hogan (R-MD) is actually endorsed by Trump, even though (hysterically) he ran as far away from that endorsement as he possibly could (see: Ballotpedia's article on the Senate race). It would be interesting to do a study of how many people WaPo has endorsed against/for that Trump has also endorsed. That said, one of the key components of the strategy of hedging against a Trump victory would be endorsing his opponents. It's why Kamala Harris (D-CA) campaigned in Houston, Texas -- and not Austin. Etc.

Anyway, just my two cents.
