Billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos claimed that newspaper endorsements are pointless to voters and only demonstrate bias, according to his Monday opinion article in The Washington Post, which he owns.

His remarks come after The Washington Post’s shocking decision not to endorse a presidential candidate drew backlash online and led to a decrease in subscribers and multiple staff resignations. Bezos painted the decision as a response to the lack of trust in media among American readers.

“Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election,” Bezos argued. “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias.”

Bezos denied any speculation that the decision was connected to former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris in his piece Monday.

“Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision. It was made entirely internally,” Bezos wrote, acknowledging that his wealth and status complicate his role as owner of the paper.

However, Molly Roberts, who resigned from the paper’s editorial board, argued that not making an endorsement, particularly for Harris, is morally unsound.
