The journalists and the culture at the newspaper wanted to endorse Harris, but the billionaire owner swooped in and overrode all of that. This is obvious.
I realized there’s another layer to how messed up this is though. A newspaper changed it’s journalistic practices to benefit an aerospace company (Blue Origin). Why is a newspaper connected to an aerospace company?
More and more companies are being owned by fewer and fewer people. The American dream is dead, the free market is a myth at this point.
A primary function of Capitalism is to concentrate wealth. Preferably in as few hands as possible. Regulation is required to keep that from happening, particularly to such extents that cash/speech proxy crosses the threshold beyond which private citizens are no longer bound by State controls.
We probably blew through that tipping point sometime in 2012-2016, so now the train is off the tracks.
