First, the Washington Post registered 1600+ cancelations of digital subscriptions in the first three hours after the news broke that the newspaper declined to make an endorsement this year and more than 2,000 so far. For perspective, the Washington Post had only 4,000 new subscribers so far this year.

So, the newspaper lost half of its new subscribers in less than one day.

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have issued a statement on the Washington Post abandoning their journalistic principles:

"We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos’s ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."
