"Woodward, Bernstein rip Washington Post for withholding endorsement: Disappointing'

Former Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein issued a statement condemning the publication's decision not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 election cycle.

"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," the two told CNN's Brian Stelter Friday.

"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," the journalists wrote in the statement."
