Washington Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is looking to bring on more conservative writers after the paper chose not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Many have been critical of the outlet for being too far to the left in its coverage.
Bezos said he is looking to expand the paper’s reach among those who are more conservative, according to the New York Times. Will Lewis has been appointed to be the chief executive at the paper and informed him that there needs to be more conservative writers at the paper on the opinion section.
The Time reported that ahead of the declination to endorse Harris, Bezos was encouraged by Lewis and other opinion editors to not end the outlet’s tradition of giving endorsements. After it became public that the paper would not endorse, multiple employees at the company resigned from their positions.
Editor-at-large at the Post Robert Kagan resigned from his position following the announcement. Michelle Norris, a columnist at the outlet also resigned, announcing the decision via a social media post on Sunday. She said it the paper’s choice to not to make an endorsement was “a terrible mistake & an insult to the paper’s own longstanding standard of regularly endorsing candidates since 1976.”
The LA Times also declined to endorse Harris, leading to a number of resignations from that outlet as well. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
