The Washington Post has just lost a tidal wave of subscribers after Bezos canceled the paper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.

According to NPR, over 200k people cancelled their subscriptions by midday today:

The Washington Post has been rocked by a tidal wave of cancellations from digital subscribers and a series of resignations from columnists, as the paper grapples with the fallout of owner Jeff Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of roughly 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.

A corporate spokesperson declined to comment, citing The Washington Post Co.’s status as a privately held company.

“It’s a colossal number,” former Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli told NPR. “The problem is, people don’t know why the decision was made. We basically know the decision was made but we don’t know what led to it.”

Chief Executive and Publisher Will Lewis on Friday explained the decision not to endorse in this year’s presidential race or in future elections as a return to the Post’s roots: It has for years styled itself an “independent paper.”

Few people inside the paper credit that rationale given the timing, however, just days before a neck-and-neck race between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

It’s 8% now. Maybe it’ll be a lot more soon and the paper will go bankrupt. Hey, a man can hope!

The New York Post did report today that Bezos is saying he wants more conservative writers at the paper. I’ll believe it when I see it.

In related news, USA Today has also refused to endorse Kamala. It’s like they can smell blood in the water.
