David Gergen : The Washington Post has not endorsed a presidential candidate for 50 years .

He says the paper's owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos , has billions of dollars in contracts with the federal government.

Gergen says readers canceled their newspaper subscriptions in the wake of the news.

If Bezos is indeed why the Post is no longer endorsing, readers should cancel their subscriptions.

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein , who anchored the Watergate coverage, released a statement yesterday calling the decision not to endorse the Post .

Bob Greene : The news industry is in crisis in part because not enough people are willing to pay for it.

Greene: Subscribers helped pay Woodward and Bernstein 's salaries, as well as the salaries of editors and production staff.
