Orlando Sentinel already announces 2020 endorsement: Not Trump
POLITICO ^ | June 18, 2019 | Quint Forgey

Posted on 06/18/2019 7:48:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

The principal newspaper in Orlando, Fla., where the president is set to kick off his reelection bid Tuesday, has already announced its 2020 White House endorsement: anyone but Donald Trump.

“We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump,” the editorial board of the Orlando Sentinel announced Tuesday, hours before Trump is set to appear in the city’s Amway Center to launch his campaign for a second term.

“Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent. Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump,” the editorial board wrote.

“After 2½ years we’ve seen enough. Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies.”

This describes the behavior of national media over the last four years perfectly.

Color me shocked.

"Daily Newspapers"... gee, how quaint, how nostalgic.

How... 1992, even.

That’s okay. Trump is endorsed by the American people.

Lol. The Sentinel staff aren’t self-aware enough to see that this is a feather in Trump’s cap.

‘...Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump,”

Is there any point then pretending that The Orlando Sentinel has many readers left? That print newspapers aren’t withering away into complete insignificance? How are those advertising revenues holding up guys?

If people still didn’t have puppies to train there would be no reason at tall for the Orlando Sentinel to even exist. Once someone figures out how to do that with the internet it’s all over.

Perhaps their whole paying subscriber base will read and take their advice. All ten of them.

Thanks for the humorous post!

The media STILL doesn't get it. The Orlando Sentinel will eat their own words come November 2020.

Trump's personality is just part of his charm. He's not your regular pompous, fake politician who never accomplishes anything.

The media fails to recognize that the people who actually matter in elections, those who vote, are done with the same old crappy meal every four years.

They have tasted Trump and want more of the same.

Lefty twitter thinks this is a huge development.

Their twisted logic: papers with shrinking readership will increase their readership by publishing a non-endorsement that fewer people will read - because the readership is shrinking.

It really is mental illness.

These idiots are looking in a mirror again and thinking they are seeing someone other than themselves.

And the media wants us to think they are unbiased? LOL!

The only people they EVER endorse are liberals.

The major media is only 8 years behind the times.

Everything they say about Trump applies/applied to baraq.

That's okay; I would never recommend that anyone ever read the Slantinel.
