An endorsement from the editorial desk of a paper is entirely orthogonal to neutral news coverage from the reporting desk. One of the major reasons for concern here is that the non-endorsement was the result of executive meddling by Bezos. If he's stepping in to override the paper's editorial positions, who's to say he wouldn't also interfere if the paper were to report on something he found inconvenient?
