I was disappointed when Bezos pressured the @washingtonpost.com to not endorse Kamala Harris, but kept my subscription. To censor Ann Telnaes @anntelnaes.bsky.social forcing her to resign tells me that I can't have confidence in the ability of the newspaper to report on the incoming administration.
