Are you suggesting that a newspaper making an endorsement is "malicious election interference", or that there was "malicious election interference" involved in them deciding not to publish the endorsement?

No. I’m implying BEZOS overriding his independent editorial board’s position a week before an election is malicious election interference.

You’re saying that Bezos telling the editorial board to not endorse is election interference?
I’m really struggling to see how not doing something could ever qualify as interference.
The whole concept of journalists endorsing a candidate feels a lot closer to interference. Feels a bit sad that the editorial board can’t see that without being told by someone like Bezos.
