Top 100 Newspapers Based on Daily Circulation

TOPICS: Culture/Society; News/Current Events; Philosophy; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: bias; media; vote
The next time someone asks you why conservatives despise the mainstream media, this ought to be an easy statistic to offer. No one--no one with credibility--can say truthfully that journalists don't reflect their editorial boards thinking.

Same goes with the network news and the cable news jokesters, and probably with most local tv and radio news. They're almost 100% statist, liberal Demon Rats.

other information from WIKIPEDIA (couldn't post it as its own thread.)

Bigger list of 2016 newspaper endorsements

Various notable newspapers made endorsements of candidates in the 2016 United States presidential election, as follows. Tables below indicate which candidate each publication endorsed in the United States presidential election...

Media journalist Jim Rutenberg writes that endorsements in the 2016 presidential election are distinguished by "blunt condemnation" of the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and by a "save the Republic" tone...

Trump received endorsements from only 20 daily newspapers and six weekly newspapers nationwide, of which only two, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union, had circulations of above 100,000. The small number of endorsements received by Trump was unprecedented in American history for a candidate from a major party.

Consider the percentages: 570 newspapers offered endorsements of some type or another. (82 had NO endorsement, so we won't count them.)

So, looking at the papers that CHOSE to endorse:

88% said "Vote FOR Shrillary"
5% said "Vote AGAINST Donald Trump"
5% said "Vote FOR Donald Trump"
2% said "Vote FOR Gary Johnson"
less than 1% said "Vote FOR Evan McMullin"
less than 1% said "Vote AGAINST Shrillary"
less than 1% said "We offer a split endorsement" (none of the split endorsements included Trump)

Here are the only Trump newspapers:

Santa Barbara News-Press (California)

St. Joseph News-Press (Missouri)

Waxahachie Daily Light (Texas)

The Times-Gazette (Ohio)

Las Vegas Review-Journal (Nevada)

Antelope Valley Press (California)

The Washington Times (District of Columbia)

The News-Sentinel (Indiana)

Daily Reflector (North Carolina)

Republican-American (Connecticut)

Florida Times Union (Florida)

Peninsula Clarion (Alaska)

Athens Banner-Herald (Georgia)

Savannah Morning News (Georgia)

Topeka Capital-Journal (Kansas)

St. Augustine Record (Florida)

Juneau Empire (Alaska)

Augusta Chronicle (Georgia)

Lubbock Avalanche-Journal (Texas)

Bowling Green Daily News (Kentucky)

Vilas County News-Review (Wisconsin)

The Crusader (Arkansas)

Jewish Voice (New York)

The Jewish Press (New York)

Neshoba Democrat (Mississippi)

Carteret County News-Times (North Carolina)

Israel Hayom (Israel)

for added note, supposedly some North Korean news agency said they wanted Trump to win.

We still have some never Trumpsters whining about President Trump’s use of the internet/Tweets to beat Hilliarily, her mediots, the fishwraps and millions of illegals voting for her.

Wow. I wonder if Trump was our last opportunity to get the country back on track.

Ominous and with this kind of one-sided support for a political candidate doesn't bode well for the country.

Maybe we will all look back from the future and realize that this was it — the last opportunity — and we failed.

And they wonder why circulation of their ad-revenue-generating sheets is declining!!

For those who must put the garbage out, the conclusion is clear that, by weight, such ads are the sole purpose of newspapers in the Year 2017.

Hillary is basically a crime family figure.

Politics aside, there was no reason whatsoever to vote in that sow.

Yet another reminder that the New York Post is not our friend.

The startling Trump victory over The Beast is still in their heads, eating their brains away day, after day after day.....

It dominates their lives to the point they can't think straight or function normally.

They are so eaten up with it that they can't hide their agony - can't keep it to themselves.

They still continually bombard us with their lamentations of grief and horror as if we cared about their misery.

Excellent point — she was corrupt. Evil is alive and well and thriving on this planet. Beam me up Scotty.

it’s amazing to me that there are 100 newspapers that still have a daily circulation at all. Why would anyone read a printed newspaper any more?

As I posted in March 2012...

What do George Soros, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Father Michael Pfleger, ACORN, Malik Zulu Shabazz, the New Black Panther Party, Tom Hayden, Hanoi Jane Fonda, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) Political Action Commission, the Young Communist League USA, La Raza, Raila Odinga, Hamas, Mohammar Kaddafy, Ali Ardashir Larijani, Daniel Ortega, Raul Castro, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il, more than 80 attorneys for Guantanamo detainees and the editorial board of the Cleveland Plain Dealer have in common?.

They ALL endorsed Barack Hussein Obama.

I’m also sure the same outlaws and reprobates endorsed the hildeBeast last year.

See my tagline.

My conclusion as well. Journalism is a stinking swamp.

How many times can you say, the old media empire is enemy # 1? Enemy # 2 is the Rat party, enemy # 3 is corrupt judges, enemy #4 is a near tie between the RINOs and the liberfarians.

Yes, she and the Obamas were the Marxist crime syndicate that looted the country for more than a decade and their crimes go unpunished and continue unabated. Nothing will ever be done to them. They are literally above the law. And why is this? The old media empire linked to a corrupt legal system.

I agree with you for most of your post. Stranger things have happened. We may yet see Bill and Hillary do hard time.
