Media Politics

Happy Election Week, Duckies!

With all the talk about the polls, we decided to bring up a different conversation. It’s no secret that your hosts at Bubble Bath Stories are going for Kamala Harris this year. But so what, right? If you’re like most people, you probably made your decision a while ago. Why should any media’s official endorsement change that? 

Last week, on October 31st, mere days away from the election Jeff Bezos decided to cut The Washington Post‘s official endorsement of The Democratic Candidate. Something they’ve been doing since the 70’s. This was done mere hours before the release of the page. 

The news really got people talking. Employees of the Post voiced their concerns. Some left, others demanded the endorsement. 

8% of Subscribers left. At least 250,000 people decided to stop reading the Washington Post for this decision. 

But the thing is, haven’t we wanted this for a while? Unbiased journalism, especially in politics. There are plenty of media corporations we know the political leanings for. As consumers, we probably shouldn’t care who the CEO votes for. As employees, we should probably welcome unbiased opinions at work. But Bezos is getting a lot of heat for this. Should he be getting it?

 

Anyways, you tell us!

• Is a company’s endorsement affecting your Vote this election?
• Do you think MAGA supporters even read the Washington Post?
• How hard is it to cancel a subscription service? Asking for a friend.
