The Washington Post has reportedly lost more than 200,000 subscribers following a decision announced last week not to endorse a candidate in the presidential race. That's according to a report from NPR, which cited two people at the paper it said had knowledge of the newspaper's internal matters.

. The Post had more than 2.5 million subscribers last year, the bulk of them digital, making it third behind The New York Times and Wall Street Journal in circulation. A Post spokeswoman, Olivia Peterson, would not comment on the report when contacted by The Associated Press. The Post’s editorial staff had reportedly prepared an endorsement of Democrat Kamala Harris before announcing instead Friday that it would leave it up for readers to make up their own minds. The timing, less than two weeks before Election Day, led critics to question whether Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had been concerned about whether Republican Donald Trump might retaliate if he were elected president.

“I am unsubscribing after 70 years,” wrote one commenter, claiming to have lost hope and belief that the Post would publish the truth.
