The Dallas Morning News Is Paying Dearly for Endorsing Hillary Clinton
Fox News ^ | September 20, 2016 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

The Dallas Morning News is paying a steep price for endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, in the form of canceled subscriptions and loud protests.

The 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.

“Certainly we’ve paid a price for our presidential recommendation,” Dallas Morning News editor Mike Wilson said in an email to Poynter. Wilson acknowledged some of that price came in dropped subscriptions, although he declined to reveal to Poynter exactly how many.

Good, I hope they go out of business.
Along with every other organ of the Ministry of Propaganda.

Great news.

This is why I hope the Kaepernick protests-and the obnoxious lecturing by clueless sportscasters-continue.

These Jacobins simply can't wait. They want to take over immediately, which is their fatal mistake.

I’m boycotting everyone that supports Hillary and trashes Trump. I just added Disney, ABC and Marvel Studios to my list, specifically because of the Joss Whedon political attack ad.

Apparently the DMN forgot that conservatives can read and so probably make up the majority of their subscribers ... tards not so much.

Subscriptions are nothing; it is the advertisers that pay the way. If the advertisers pull out it is over quickly,

If they had just a shred of integrity at the Dallas Morning News, they would admit to her corruption, deceit, incompetence, violation of national security, and subornation of just about everyone and everything that gets close to her orbit.

She is terrible.

They could have stayed neutral and said nothing, but they make themselves look like morality fools with this act.

Just watched that ad for the 1st time. It’s a non-sequitur & not really going to bring anyone to Cankles side, IMO.

Vote Trump 2016

And the worse aspect if their endorsement is, that there is no discernible higher moral principle on which they may base their recommendation.

Herself is without any redeeming social, fiscal, or moral qualities whatsoever. It comes down to “gimme”.

After all, Herself DESERVES it. If Herself were to deserve anything based on history and accomplishment, it would be a cell in the Colorado ADX Florence Supermax.

For life.

for whatever few remaining years there shall be.

Subscriptions are not completely decoupled from advertising. A big drop in circulation means advertising rates must fall, since the reach is diminished. A nice spiral downward into oblivion. Schadenfreude!

I’ll bet they’ve seen ad revenue drop a great deal also. 2 + 2 = staff layoffs

They wont go bankrupt.
They are sustained by subsidies as political assets, rather than as businesses selling a service to the public. Thats why they dont care too much what the public thinks of them. They serve different masters.

Exactly.
They chose to support the most corrupt incompetent candidate ever.

Better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.
