I wonder how much the Clinton Foundation paid Gannett for this.

The subscription cancellations were coming every 10 minutes. Angry readers have been calling in droves.

Is there a downside to this? 😆

I think perhaps these group owned papers were TOLD to endorse Hitlery.

Gannett also bought both major papers in the Detroit market years ago. The Detroit Free Press was the liberal rag. The Detroit News was the “conservative” paper. After Gannett bought them both, they began to change the editorial slant of the News to a more liberal bent. Now we see that the News has decided to break a pattern that is over a hundred years old of endorsing Republicans as they picked Johnson over Trump just yesterday. What Gannett has done is to totally alienate their News readers to the point that the News will now disappear from the Detroit area market. Subscriptions will fall to the point that the News will be another NYTimes, becoming a just another bankrupt liberal rag, like the Arizona Republic is sure to follow.

Just orders from Gannet HQ.

Editorial boards stocked with activists consumed with the concepts of inclusiveness, tolerance for any deviant behavior and the universal goodness of all mankind. Dinosaurs from the kumbaya age.

Their revenues are going down faster than a fly in a frog’s gullet. And this is a sane business model?

Well, Duuuhhh!

What they are really saying, Trump is a clear and present danger to the survival of the purchased media. (Press-titutes)

But the real danger to the nation is the Globalist Cabal including the media.

"For Some Newspapers, Endorsing Clinton Means Losing Subscribers"

DemRATs no longer support the free speech that they demanded in the past, so lack of support for government controlled newspapers wouldn't come as a surprise.

The AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution) has been giving away Sunday papers in my neighborhood for the past six weeks.

Why in the world someone would pay for that junk is beyond me.
Coupons is the only reason I can think of.
By the time you get print media is old news.

I saved them so I can use them as weed barriers in my vegetable garden next spring.

For some readers, however, the endorsements proved a step too far. “Certainly, we’ve paid a price for our presidential recommendation,” Mike Wilson, the editor of The Dallas Morning News, told Poynter this month.

Another newspaper comes out against Trump with unsupported assertions to "justify" their incoherent claims.

The odd thing about this are the flimsy, pathetic, and unsupported excuses offered by this formerly great newspaper. They are too eager to trash Trump.

Follow the money!

So the print media is calling us deplorable and irredeemable. It’s no wonder I haven’t read a newspaper in years.

The article tries to portray these editorial boards as thoughtful and impressive, using historians and agonizing over the decision.

They signed an economic suicide pact—their Jonestown.

There is nothing “thoughtful” about that!

> But he said financial considerations were “never a factor” for the newspaper’s nine-person editorial board. “It was more of a curiosity,” he said. “We know we’re doing the right thing. We feel very good about this decision.”

Are they expecting a payoff if she wins?

Stupid is as stupid does. Just what did these paper editors think would be the outcome? Apparently, they have been reading and embracing too much of their own tripe for too long. Time to join the real world.

“Trump is a clear and present danger to OUR country.”

So in other words, they think Trump supporters are not American citizens and have no right to choose the president of THEIR country.

Cancel subscriptions. Whoever doesn’t do so is complicit with the enemy.

Here’s a radical idea.

Newspapers should report the news ...and stop editorializing. If I want to read an opinion piece I can go online. Some of the comments here on FR for example are far more insightful and thought provoking than I’ve ever read in an old fashioned newspaper.

Why should I pay good money to a newspaper that endorses a lying criminal?

They will be considerations once the next round of layoffs hit.

Vote with your feet. I wonder what Michael Medved's latest ratings book will look like...
