Signals Bezos doesn't think Harris is going to win, and he doesn't want to honk Trump off too much.

Rather, it signals that the newspaper that had the moral courage to tell Americans that the Watergate break-in was part of a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage on behalf of the Nixon re-election committee -- a revelation that resulted in 69 indictments and 48 convictions, involving several high-ranking officials from the Nixon administration -- is now run by spineless cowards.

Executive editor Ben Bradlee and publisher Katherine Graham knew they might be tarred and feathered but refused to knuckle under to personal and professional threats.

But Bezos, who has more money than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes, evidently is no Bradlee or Graham.
