John - I’m torn. My first reaction was the same as yours but if it wasn’t for the Post and NYT doing incredibly important reporting and exposing the endless corruption surrounding Trump and his enablers …. So canceling the post because of the cowardice of not endorsing Kamala seems to be a gift to Trump. He’d be delighted to see all of us abandoning the Post. And so far their reporters are still doing incredibly important work and if the Post disappeared then we’ve lost one of the last important voices standing up to the MAGA crowd. Just my two cents. I agree that the cowardice is infuriating and wish there was another way to call this out rather than canceling our subscriptions

The OP and some of the comments posted lead to a poster child example of irony. The WP has published endless articles that are negative toward one candidate and with yet little toward the opposing candidate when there is also very much to speak of. Then, when the paper doesn't go far enough for the followers in their reporting bias, the followers rebel. This is just as it should be in a free market. It is also example of opinion eating their own. File this post as Exhibit A to the tribalism of journalism, social media, and controlling beliefs today. If you don't go far enough in promoting your badge of allegiance, you shall be damned. Erie stuff.

Same. Mine ends in May. If they don't straighten it out by then, nope

Here’s what I don’t understand: the layers of procurement bureaucracy between AWS and any president are stupendous. You can hire reams of lawyers to protect your contract with the govt. Plus the change costs are not small. Is this all really about govt contracts or is is just about being craven? (Rhetorical question)

the horrible thing for me is that i had cancelled my subscription before the announcement...and now i'm getting lumped in with the cancellers...for the record, the post shouldn't have endorsed anyone....and the tantrums thrown by so many of my former colleagues comes off - to me - as unprofessional and unworthy of them....

It should be illegal for any media to endorse any party or candidate. What happened to the media being impartial? USA media is a joke.
