Is The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and USA Today's non-endorsements a stamp of approval for Trump? Here's what the ex-President is claiming

Former US President Donald Trump has eventually interpreted the non-endorsements from major newspapers which includes The Washington Post, USA Today and Los Angeles Times as a tacit endorsement of his Presidential campaign. According to CNN, Donald Trump asserted that the decision of not endorsing any Presidential candidate eventually reveals that these publications believe US Vice President Kamala Harris is totally unfit for office.

CNN reported that this sudden non endorsement marks a pretty significant departure from tradition because if history is being traced, both The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times have always endorsed Democratic candidates. The leadership of all these prominent newspapers has eventually asserted that their decision to abstain from all kind of endorsements actually aims to rebuild the trust of the reader and combat perceptions related to media bias.

Will Lewis, the publisher of The Washington Post emphasized on the fact that the non-endorsement reflected the commitment of the paper towards journalistic integrity rather than a political stance, noted CNN.

CNN asserted that critics all around are putting forward an argument that the non-endorsement could eventually embolden Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and reflected on the potential backlash if he ends up winning the US Presidential Elections.
