That's not the point. Bezos overruled the editorial board because he's afraid of Trump. The editors had a Harris endorsement that was already written and he killed it.

This should disturb everyone that cares about a free press and editorial independence. If this can happen at a flagship newspaper, what do we expect from smaller media?

And it is part and parcel with the media's approach to Trump.

Everyone has been making fun of the New York Times in recent years. But do you know why they have such bad coverage of Trump? It isn't just that they don't know how to cover him. It was a conscious decision by their executive editor Joe Kahn and publisher Sulzberger. Kahn has stated this numerous times.
