Neither presidential campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed about the Washington Post's non-endorsement decision, which was made entirely internally.
Own records only Only the person's or their organisation's own records speak to it, so it is not scored.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
Reasoning
Whether campaigns were consulted rests on internal communications, though reporting may partially exist; mainly the Post's own knowledge.
