David Gergen : The Washington Post's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate is an extremely powerful statement.

Gergen says it says: We are so terrified of a Trump presidency that we are bending the knee in advance.

He says it makes clear that owner Jeff Bezos doesn't want to lose government business in a second Trump administration.

The Post ’s decision Friday comes just days after the Los Angeles Times also decided to forgo an official endorsement.

The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times have not endorsed Donald Trump .

Salon 's Julian Zelizer says the move reflects what Timothy Snyder calls “anticipatory obedience” Zelizer: The move sends a signal to newsrooms: Prepare to accommodate your coverage to a Trump regime.
