Interns at Storied Leftist News Magazine ‘The Nation’ Reject Editorial Board’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris, Calling It ‘Unearned and Disappointing’
…….On September 23, The Nation endorsed Kamala, hailing her as a “visionary” leader with an admirable domestic agenda. But the endorsement’s optimistic tone quickly turned sour.
……..Just weeks later, discontented editorial interns —yes, interns—at the magazine published an open letter in a blistering article.
“The Biden administration’s action, and inaction, in Gaza—and her support for those policies—should have been enough to disqualify her,” according to the website.
The Nation interns have penned a searing critique of Kamala, accusing her of complicity in policies that they claim “promote genocide.”
They slam her domestic agenda as hypocritical, insisting her talk of healthcare and housing rings hollow as crises escalate abroad.
Kamala’s so-called “sunny domestic proposals,” they say, are smoke and mirrors, ignoring the international devastation they believe her policies support.
………”We, The Nation’s current interns, find this endorsement unearned and disappointing. We have a different interpretation of the magazine’s abolitionist legacy, one that says a publication committed to justice must refrain from endorsing a person signing off on genocide.
We do not support Donald Trump, but to champion Harris at this moment is to ignore the atrocities that are being carried out with weapons supplied by the Biden-Harris administration.
The Nation’s endorsement notes that on foreign policy the “positive case [for Harris] is harder to make,” adding that “she has failed so far to offer anything more substantive to the millions of Americans…desperate for an end to America’s unconditional support for Israel’s brutal war on Gaza.” Yet it goes on to endorse her anyway—implying that domestic concerns are somehow more important. We disagree. On the grounds of Gaza alone, Harris should not have received The Nation’s endorsement.”
Staffers and editors at the WaPo have gone bat-shit bonkers after owner Jeff Bezos nixes Harris endorsement:
There is chaos at The Washington Post after its owner Jeff Bezos vetoed an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.
As reported by NPR on Friday, the paper will not be endorsing a candidate for the first time since 1980 after Bezos decided the company should remain neutral.
“The decision was revealed in a tense meeting with people on the editorial staff,” NPR reported.
…….Now, staffers at the company are reportedly threatening to denounce the company or even walk out in protest. According to Semafor’s media editor Max Tani, the paper’s opinion staff are “furious” about the decision and are “contemplating what action to take, ranging from resigning, quitting the board, or a statement.”
……..Meanwhile, columnist Bob Kagan has already announced his resignation from the company, reports the New Yorker’s Susan Glasser.
The WaPo is not the only major paper to decline to endorse Kamala Harris.
The far-left rag Los Angeles Times also confirmed it would not be endorsing any candidate.
It’s the first time in over 15 years that leftist media hacks failed to endorse commie candidates. It’s only because they recognize that Kammy is too fucked up even for them.
