I understand the reaction of people canceling their subscription, but I think it is a mistaken one.

To me it is looks a lot like punishing the victim.

The primary victim here is WP whose employees didn't do anything wrong in this situation and didn't have much of the choice.

Even Bezos, at worst, is the person who didn't manage to stand under pressure put on him.

I have no use for a weak willed news product. Endorse Trump, Kamala, or a third party, but if your tagline is “democracy dies in darkness” and you’re embracing that slogan in the opposite direction, I’m just going to cancel.

You put all the blame at Trump's door then?

Still, someone has to say no to the pressure. If that's up to the subscribers then so be it. Let their money go to media that isn't beholden to Trump's threats.

Yes, pretty much all of it.

For sure Bezos handled this badly. But the problem in my opinion is not his management skills or even his civic valor, but apparent fear of business and public people of retributions for supporting a wrong candidate.
