Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : The Los Angeles Times also declined to endorse a candidate this election, with news reports and former staffers accusing owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong of canceling a planned Harris endorsement, while the owner claims the editorial board didn't comply with a request to supply non-partisan evaluations of both candidates.
26% : Some critics of the decision argued the Post was avoiding criticizing Trump because owner Bezos frequently does business with the federal government through his Blue Origin space company and other ventures.
22% : Robert Kagan, a longtime columnist and editor at the Post, who resigned in protest, accused Bezos of engaging in a "quid pro quo," pointing to a meeting between Blue Origin executives and Trump that came after the paper's announcement.
