I agree in principle that I don’t mind newspapers not endorsing. Fine, make an academic argument about it.
But a week before a major election? That’s ridiculous and inappropriate. Incompetence at best, malicious election interference at worst.

I’m really struggling to see how not doing something could ever qualify as interference.
The whole concept of journalists endorsing a candidate feels a lot closer to interference. Feels a bit sad that the editorial board can’t see that without being told by someone like Bezos.
