"Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one," Bezos wrote in a nine-paragraph article published on the Post's website Monday night. "I wish we had made the change earlier than we did, in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it," Bezos wrote. There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false."

High-profile Post staffers have also publicly expressed their dismay over how the situation was handled and raised questions over the reason for the eleventh-hour decision. “That was inadequate planning, and not some intentional strategy.”Hours after Post publisher Will Lewis announced the news Friday, Trump met with executives from Blue Origin, a Bezos-founded spacefaring company. Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision.
