    Washington Post editorial writers’ endorsement of Kamala Harris stopped by CEO

    “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election,” wrote Will Lewis, The Post’s chief executive. “Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”

    The Washington Post’s editorial writers had already drafted an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to four people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive newsroom matters.

          The Onion’s ironic? slogan is ‘Twilight’s Last Gleaming’… which is now essentially a perfect parody of WaPo’s slogan, in that it is now 100% accurate.
