Neither Winnett nor Lewis has responded to requests by journalists — including at the Post — for comment on these episodes. Carlotta Cardana / Bloomberg via Getty Images / Bloomberg Washington Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis (shown here) worked with Robert Winnett at the Sunday Times in Britain in the early 2000s. "It is with regret that I share with you that Robert Winnett has withdrawn from the position of Editor at The Washington Post," Lewis wrote in a message to the Post newsroom Friday. A highly regarded Post writer and associate editor, David Maraniss, recently expressed disgust in a Facebook post. Winnett never stepped foot in the Washington newsroom as editor.
