That is pretty much exactly the tone of the emails I keep getting. I'm already a nervous Nelly and they don't help. These groups don't listen to feedback, either. 

Occasionally a 'win red' email goes through and they're even worse, so there's that.

This is what my wife sent me when i sent her the Posts own article explaining their "decision".

Yep. That bill just came and I haven’t paid it yet. I’ll pay the part of it for the past year but will cancel and not pay for the upcoming year. BTW, don’t know if you looked at the comments under the article. It’s a loooong stream of “I’m cancelling my subscription” comments. Democracy Dies in Darkness my ass.

I have great respect for Marty Baron (and every journalist at the Boston Globe) for the work they did spotlighting the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal. It won't matter much one way or the other that the Washington Post is not endorsing, but I agree with Mr. Baron here.

When moral and ethical judgements needed to be made.  They didn't.

He is right, and the folks saying "well, no one cares about endorsements" are missing the point; the billionaire owner telling the board what they can and can not put out there 10 days before this particular election was never not going to cause controversy.

I personally don't care about paper endorsements, but it's pretty clear what happened here and, at least in my view, really hits at the issue of trust.
