you can certainly make that argument, but it's in the washington post address. my argument is it doesn't move any folders and then just a very quick one. do you think it's likely to set the trends if i say yes or no on . so really the new well, i think used papers are moving away from endorsements generally. okay, thank you. very much that and all started what house column is for the publication, the who your as well as the result, sir, george is willing policy is taking the lead in a high stakes parliamentary election with more than 2 thirds of ballots counted the georgia dream policy has 43 percent of the vote bought deal positions as it one to accept the result. i filled some of its reports. there's jubilation at the georgia dream party headquarters. as preliminary results suggests they're set to become 1st instead of a selection. but in george's 1st election, using electronic voting to exit polls, the initially painted different pictures of who can form image already the both the georgia dream party, which is rules for more than a decade and faces accusation

the fallout continues for the washington post and "la times", after their publishers announced that the papers will not be making a presidential endorsement this year. for the posted is a problem exacerbated by the fact that it's owner jeff bezos has billions of dollars worth of contracts with the federal government through his other businesses like amazon, particularly web services and the aerospace manufacturing company blue origin. on the same day that the post publisher announced the newspaper would not make an endorsement, the associated press photographed two executives from blue origin, the ceo on the left, and megan mitchell, vice president of government relations on the right, speaking with donald trump on the tarmac in austin. this highlights complexity of business journalism conflicting with or undermining the actual work of journalism, which can have dire consequences for society as a whole. the legendary newspaper publisher and former politician joseph pulitzer warned us about this in 1984. our press will rise or fall together. and able disinterested public spirited press w

jonathan: the washington post reported earlier this month -- sorry, a washington post story earlier this month cast doubt on republican challenger kenshin sheehy's claims that a gunshot wound he suffered in 2018 happened in afghanistan. the post interviewed a park ranger in glacier national park who ticketed him for discharging a weapon in the park. he shot himself in the arm while loading up his gear. all of that lined up to ask, has this and other reports on that incident had any effect on that montana senate race? sen. peters: i think so. especially the last few days as more evidence has come out and more witnesses have testified to the fact that he did not get that wounded in afghanistan. it was later. so, it is certainly in dispute. certainly, there is one thing that folks in montana, though i would say all over the country, people are outraged about, and that is stolen valor. here you have a republican candidate who talked about having a gunshot wound while serving i may afghanistan. it appears based on what was coming forward it is based on a live. what is essential for folks in m

a washington post endorsement of campbell, the hardest would not have shocked and a one. i don't believe it would have moved any votes, but i think mister base shows by being perceived dribbling, don't his newspaper as create a public relations nightmare for himself so that he could just as easily help avoid . it appears that he has at bethany toward, mister trump, that he has been intimidated essentially. and that because of that intimidation, he has meddled with his newspaper to stop its journalist during something that they would otherwise have. don't know if that was a great look, especially when in my if you think you're just of left, the editorial board, right. whatever it likes, apparently, a endorsement of comma harris was with a drafted, and it would have made my judgment, no difference at all to the outcome of the election. whatever that is, there is an argument, of course for newspapers, not endorsing at all. but when you decide 10 or 11 days before the election, the, that's the time that you're going to move back to a rich as the portrait, a justification for

"the washington post" is a left-wing publication. "the washington post," remember, had the austere scholar language before. they are, by all measures, i would argue, one of the most left-wing publications in the nation. "new york times" gives them a run for their money. and they are choosing not to endorse kamala harris. they have endorsed all the theories about what a threat to democracy donald trump is, go read their editorial page, go read their reporting, and they are not endorsing in this race? what a way to undercut, kneecap, totally undermine kamala harris' closing argument. "this guy is a fascist, this guy is unpalatable paid this guy iss a threat to democracy. but we're not going to endorse in the race." what an insult to kamala harris. an added at the "l.a. times," the unions? kamala, who do you have when you've lost a "washington post"? >> harris: i want to read this quote.

to our credit at "the washington post," we air all our fights and dirty laundry in public, and so it mething like 20 or 21 "post" columnists have signed onto that statement. we've had columnists write individual columns, saying this was wrong. i think what has really -- what gets us, again, is the timing. it is an argument you could make, why should newspapers endorse presidential candidates? that was an argument, a discussion to have a year ago, six months ago even. but to have just a final decision 11 days before what we have written is one of the most crucial elections in american history is just simply -- we don't understand that. i have a question for you, marty. which is, you worked with jeff. jeff has owned the paper for, i think, 11 years now. he has invested tons and tons of money in "the post." in many ways, has been a supportive owner and supportive of the role of the press and the role of journalism, at least from my point of view. this just seems -- one reason we're so in shock is that this is a surprise to us. is it a surprise to you? >> well, i'm not surprised by much t

the washington post reported that bob woodward's new book, which will be published next week, entitled "war, reveals that in the darkest hour of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, when there was no vaccine and when most people in the world, including most people in this country, could not obtain covid- 19 tests, donald trump sent priceless test to vladimir putin for vladimir putin's personal use. the washington post breaking news headline on the story was "trump secretly sent covid-19 tests to putin during 2020 shortage." the post reported "as the coronavirus tour through the world in 2020, and the united states and other countries confronted a shortage of test designed to detect of the illness, president donald trump secretly sent coveted tests to russian president putin for his personal use . putin, petrified of the virus, accepted the supplies took pains to prevent political fallout, not for him but for his american counterpart. he cautioned trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to moscow, according to a new book by "washington post" associate editor, b

of the washington post, jeff bezos. the hard truth, americans don't trust the news media is the headline of his peace. the piece is mostly about the decision about presidential endorsement. here's a bit afoot jeff bezos writes. presidential endorsements do nothing to to the skills of an election. no undecided voters in pennsylvania are going to say i'm going to go with newspaper a's endorsement. none. what it does is create a perception of bias, a perception of non-independence. ending them is a principle decision, jeff bezos says, and the right one. washington post from 1933-1946 thought the same, and he was right. declining to endorse presidential candidates is not enough to move us very far up the trust scale, but it is a meaningful step in the right direction, jeff bezos says. i wish we made the change earlier than we did in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it. that was inadequate planning and not an intentional strategy. jeff bezos in the washington post today if you want to read his piece

when i went back to full-time reporting duties at the washington post in 2018 it coincided with the murdera journalist in slovakia of all places along with his fiancÉe in a couple of days later you might remember that to journalist working for warriors in emr were arrested and detained for uncovering a massive care en masse graves. i wrote the story of the journalist and started looking at more of the cases that were happening all over the world and the great credit of my editors at the washington post although this is not to be the traditionally has got a lot of attention or clicks they said do it this is a core part of the value of the news organization shine a light on the atrocities, talk about the importance of the work that we do and in the wake of the murder of my colleague in 2018 our publisher or to the press freedom partnership a group of press freedom organizations in a way that they can support each other on the washington post could support them by providing ad space and resources by telling the story of others that are in trouble. i got very involved in that and fast-forward

he is even still working at "the washington post" and they broke the watergate story in the washington post in the 1970s. this brought down president richard nixon and they both issued a joint statement tonight which says we respect the traditional independence of the editorial page. but this decision just 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the "the washington post" own overwhelming evidence of the threat that former president donald trump poses to democracy under the ownership of the jeff bezos ownership. they have used its abundant resources to ridiculously investigate the danger and the damage of a second trump presidency could cause. now we are going to go to the event in houston. >> thank you. before i can even start on behalf of myself, my husband and my family. i want to thank you all for embracing support that you have given me. good evening and my name is andrea and i live in san antonio, texas. in the fall of 2022, after many prayers my husband and i found out that we were expecting. everything changed when my water broke one evening far too early into my

the washington post has broken with years of tradition — announcing it will not endorse a presidentialhe 1980s, much like other major newspapers. but it says this will no longer be the case for november's election — and any future presidential elections. lots happening today — for his anaylsis, i spoke earlier to our north america correspondent anthony zurcher, who's in houston. anthony, born and raised in texas, so a bit of a homecoming for you — i think it's worth explaining a bit why these two candidates, with 11 days or so to go, are in a state that we are very much expecting to be in trump's column come november 5th? i must say, i'm surprised to be back in my home state a week before the election. but you heard a bit of why kamala harris is here, from those remarks she made at a press gaggle earlier today — and that's because she really wants to elevate that abortion message and point to the stringent laws you mentioned here in texas that virtually ban abortion, allowing no exceptions for rape or incest. she'll be on the stage a few blocks from here, saying that that is the future

i want you to listen to the media panic about the washington post decision not to make a presidentialendorsement. >> i see this as a betrayal of the core principles of the post and also a betrayal of the practices and the principles that jeff bays owes professed. >> the malpractice and cowardice of the washington post and the legacy of that newspaper in this moment is unspeakable. >> associate editor at the washington post, on the front page of the washington post just before the newspaper's hallowed name is the motto we adopted in the middle of the trump presidency, democracy dies in darkness. the decision to not endorse in this election the most consequential in our nation's history is abominable. stuart: i call that a panic. usa today also announced they aren't going to give an endorsement. is this bad for harris? >> it's really bad for harris. i think what i love about it more than anything is it exposes the media for all of the lies and all of the fraud they have been perpetuating for years. they claim to be fair and balanced, balanced reporters of the news and as soon as you tak

post most prominent writers. i'll just say it was most been jordan as more from washington since the washington post ceo announced on friday that the newspaper would not be endorsing a presidential candidate for the 1st time. and 3rd, 6 years, some 1600 digital subscribers have canceled their subscriptions. they say that the washington post, the fabled national newspaper which uncovered watergate, has a moral obligation to let its readers know whether or not donald trump or tom or harris would be best suited to sit in the oval office. there are reports suggesting that the editorial board, which handles endorsement was ready to put out an endorsement of comma la hours the democratic nominee. however, jeff, base of the owner of the washington post, as well as the founder of amazon, apparently told the ceo that he didn't want an endorsement. there's wild speculation not confirmed 5 days of that. this is happening because he has business with the federal government at a reportedly is worried that if donald trump will re elected on november 5th, that this might imperil basis is federal contracts. for rugs that are wor

for the first time in 36 years, the washington post says it will not endorse a us presidential candidate it had drafted an endorsement of kamala harris, but it was blocked by the publication's billionaire owner, jeff bezos. thomas gift, director from the centre of us politics at university college london, spoke to us about why now. i think the timing of this decision is certainly notable, of all of the elections to set out, the washington post leadership decides that endorsing a candidate that many including editorial members have said is the most important of our lifetime, it is not like telegraphed this decision a year or months in advance, instead they did this at the 11th hour, post executives claiming they are going back to their roots of not endorsing presidential candidates, but they have endorsed a candidate for president in every election dating back 30 years. they have also endorsed a number of different candidate in this election cycle, so i think it is reasonable to ask whether this is an effort by ownerjeff bezos to protect his financial interests. we have cause hold substan
