Dallas Morning News Headed For Bankruptcy for Attacking Trump

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!

And Macy’s has had to close multiple stores since they trashed Trump. When will businesses learn to stay out of politics?

DMN likely lost subscribers but overall I think Corpian is a liar.

I totally agree with you, people who write professionally should be aware of elementary grammar and word usage. If a plumber or electrician were as careless with the tools of their trade they wouldn’t stay in business very long.

Maybe I am a crotchety old lady, but if you cannot express yourself using the proper words, I wonder about your ability to use logic and to actually say what you mean. Not to mention the ability to get the facts right.

They seem to never learn. Look at the moment at Target who is searching desperately for any excuse.
After the numerous business ventures forcing their views on WTP the past 8 years....and WTP expressing our dissatisfaction, can’t help but wonder how much longer the National Sports teams will be relative. Pocketbook hurt for highly paid individuals who may or may not deserve cash awards. When we stand side by side, WTP is a powerful group, yes?
