Nolte: Three Reasons to Cherish the Washington Post’s Latest Meltdown

After a decade of telling us Donald Trump is Hitler, the Post announced that Kamala Harris is so awful that the paper would not endorse her over Hitler. ….
What followed was the usual-usual from our moral betters — what we’ve come to expect when our oh-so dignified elites don’t get their way: a full-blown-lay-down-on-the-floor-in-the-middle-of-the-grocery-store-kicking-and-screaming tantrum. ... politicians who showed no emotion about Americans dying in Benghazi discovering their outrage ….
… Here are three reasons this is glorious…
First off, while it is humiliating for Kamala not to win an endorsement against Hitler, in the real world, an endorsement from the stupid and soon-to-be-bankrupt Washington Post was not going to move the electoral needle. But this does damage Harris in one important way.
… it will drown out Kamala’s closing argument.

Because he believes he’s winning, Trump wants to freeze the race, and this Washington Post snit-fit is and will help him do that.
Secondly, there’s only one reason Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos refused to endorse Harris: he believes Trump will be our next president. ... he’s looking for a way to make nice to the next president after a decade of trashing, smearing, undermining, and defaming him.

Third, and this one is my favorite, is the Post’s doom spiral. In their partisan hatred to rid the country of Donald Trump, outlets like the Post (along with CNN, the New York Times, the Late Night shows, etc.) alienated and lost forever every subscriber except the hardcore left-wingers who demand 100 percent fealty to The Cause. These people do not want news or truth. They demand comfort and affirmation. And if you do not give it to them, they will punish you by canceling their subscriptions.

It's a delightful opinion piece. I had to butcher it to get it under 300 words. Worth reading in full.
