All that being true, it still would have been better for these newspapers to announce their non-endorsement policies months ago. The suggestion of cowering to specific pressure from Trump does not help their journalistic credibility.

What journalistic credibility ? Neither of these two organizations had any due to the frequent editorializing by their “news” reporters.

I think that Josh makes the good point that there's very little reason to believe the journalists at the Post will go easy on Trump if he is elected, and every reason to fear that they'll provide the kind of "moral clarity" that cost them so much credibility last time.

The fact that the major non-conservative newspapers and media outlets are tediously, preachily anti-Trump may not help Democrats as much as Democrats would like, but it is evident for all to see. The popularity on the center-left of the insane notion that the Post or the NYT is pro-Trump (here's the reliable Borowitz: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/new-york-times-admits-sean-hannity) gives cause for concern.
