On Friday , The Washington Post announced that it would not endorse the U.S. presidential election for the first time in 36 years .

The decision was reportedly made by the newspaper's owner, billionaire Jeff Bezos .

The L.A. Times ’ non-endorsement is the construction of one of the cornerstones of dictatorship: self-censorship.

David Gergen : Bezos has sent a signal to would-be authoritarians at home and abroad without facing even a whisper of a threat the likes of Taban and others.

The move follows a similar decision earlier this month by the L.A. Times ’ billionaire owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong , not to run an endorsement that the editorial board had been preparing.
