Due to the one of the most asinine endorsements of the century, revenue has hit rock bottom for the Dallas Morning News as thousands of the Dallas newspaper subscribers are cancelling their subscriptions.
The moronic endorsement broke a 75-year streak in the paper’s history of endorsing Republicans, and generated a lot of reader pushback in the form of angry comments and vows to unsubscribe from the paper. Although Dallas is relatively liberal, the state hasn’t gone Democrat in a presidential election in 40 years.
On September 6th the Morning News foolishly announced that they were refusing to endorse Donald J. Trump for President in 2016. The board of the Dallas based newspaper has repeatedly ripped into Trump for what they claim is Trump’s “admiration” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and disavowal of trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as well as national security ideas that the newspapers leadership claims “put sound bites over sound policy.”
The Dallas Morning News had previously endorsed every GOP nominee dating back to 1940. In 1964, it was neutral between Texan and incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson and Republican Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater.
Susan Bennett, a circulation manager for the Dallas Morning News told Get Off the Bs that, “It has been a madhouse here. We are having to work overtime to answer thousands of angry calls from subscribers, who are cancelling their subscriptions to our publication.”
According to Bennett, there has been no loyalty to their newspaper amongst their democratic leaning advertisers, who are “pulling” their advertisements due to the “catastrophic decline” in the newspapers daily subscribers.
The Dallas Morning News is a daily newspaper serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas, which at the start of September 2016 boasted 271,900 daily subscribers. It was founded on October 1, 1885, by Alfred Horatio Belo as a satellite publication of the Galveston Daily News, of Galveston, Texas.
Today circulation has fell below 134,000 daily subscribers, largely due to the newspapers asinine endorsement of Rotten Lying Hillary Clinton on September 7th, claiming that Trump is “unfit to serve as our nations next president.”
The recent demise of the Dallas Morning News, which was once one of the 20 largest paid newspaper circulations in the United States and which boasted nine Pulitzer awards, should come as no surprise to anyone with any brain cells still functioning because the whole nation has been witness to the demise of many of idiots who have foolishly attacked Trump.
Get Off The Bs humorously asked Mr. Trump if he found it counterproductive to destroy businesses and people who attack him, to which Donald replied, “Lacy, their all dishonest. What did I ever do to the Dallas Morning News? Trump will bring back jobs 100%.”
This is Brenda Corpian reporting for Get Off The Bs and with a message to the leadership team of the Dallas Morning News. I am laughing my ass off at you stupid pundits and will party likes it is 1999 again when your dishonest newspaper bytes the dust. Vote for Trump because voting for anyone else is just plain stupid!
I live in the Dallas area and know a lot of conservatives for years received the DMN. Endorsing the criminal Hellary is a bridge too far. Enjoy the lost revenue and I just feel sorry for any decent sane employees.
Do you know of any that have canceled their subscriptions?
No but I am a single loner kind but I’ll prolly run across a few soon.
Back when my wife was alive, We canceled our subscription to the Tampa Tribune over their political stance. The Tribune has not been missed.

A high percentage of DMN employees are homosexual, and ultra-leftist.
Haha.
Yep...Dems like their money. Editors must have thought the DEMS Would Be “Charitable “....hahahaha

The only people I know who still have cable/satellite are my parents and in laws. Those our age (40’s) and younger have Netfix, Amazon, apps, etc to watch what they want.
The MSM is most definitely not what they once were.

Quoting randita:
“Daily print newspapers will be dead and gone in a generation. Barely anyone under the age of 50 subscribes to a print newspaper.
I remember a time when the Sunday newspaper came and it was so thick you had to carry it with two hands and it took you most of the day to read through all of it.
The last editions I received, before cancelling altogether about six years ago were as thin as a weekly classified ad circular.”
Look at New York City. Two major daily papers, The Daily News and the NY Post. One has rising circulation, the other has dramatically falling circulation (kind of like my feet).
Guess which supports Donald Trump, and which is a liberal attack organ railing against DJT daily in their news pages?
That’s right, the Daily News is a shadow of the great paper it once was. And what of the New York Times? It’s now owned by a Mexican businessman. And we all know which side of the border the New York Times comes down on.

Advertisers are not happy. They should sue for their money back.
Oh no! What are we going to use for toilet paper now?
Sports have given way to political and political correctness. None of it is entertaining to me anymore.
Of those considered noteworthy, 83 newspapers have endorsed Hillary Clinton. They range from those one might expect – the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and New York Times, for example – to some startling surprises, including the Arizona Republic, Dallas Morning News, and Idaho Statesman. Some of those initially endorsed Republican candidates and shifted support after their candidate withdrew. The Houston Chronicle, for example, first endorsed Jeb Bush. The paper now supports Clinton.
Locally, the Tulsa World, which has endorsed every Republican presidential candidate since 1940, on Aug. 8 declined to endorse any candidate in 2016. The Oklahoman has not yet expressed a preference, and The Journal Record does not endorse political candidates.
Most telling is that Republican nominee Donald Trump has secured the endorsements of only three newspapers: the New York Post, Santa Barbara News-Press, and the National Enquirer.
And I’ll bet at least one of those is really just betting on four years of punchy headlines.
