Since my decision to step down as senior managing editor in 2023, I have been privileged to work on contract as a senior associate editor, helping to oversee investigative projects and undertaking other tasks at the behest of Executive Editor Sally Buzbee and her successor, Matt Murray. The news today that Jeff Bezos has decided that The Post’s editorial page should stand only for certain views represents an unacceptable erosion of its commitment to publishing a healthy diversity of opinion and argument. His decision not to endorse a candidate eleven days before the last presidential election was an abdication of journalistic responsibility. His public expression congratulating Donald Trump and his prominent presence at the inauguration indicated to me that he is unwilling to maintain the discretion incumbent upon the owner of an institution as important as The Post. The Washington Post in my lifetime has always held power to account. It has been an independent newspaper, to cite the longstanding motto on the editorial page, dedicated to the truth-telling and journalistic rigor that sustains and strengthens American democracy. I have sadly concluded that The Post is retreating from this mission.  | 243 comments on LinkedIn
