Some subscribers have canceled their Washington Post subscriptions after owner Jeff Bezos decided the paper would not issue an endorsement in the upcoming election.

Hundreds of commenters on the paper’s website say they canceled their subscriptions because they’re upset the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate. Others took to social media to share screenshots confirming they canceled their subscriptions. Many say they were looking for an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.
