Three Alabama Newspapers Instruct Voters to ‘Reject Roy Moore’ With Front-Page Editorials
Breitbart ^ | 11/19/2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 11/19/2017 2:19:26 PM PST by ForYourChildren

In their Sunday editions, three of Alabama’s larger newspapers — Mobile, AL’s Press-Register, The Birmingham News and The Huntsville Times — featured front-page editorials telling voters to “reject Roy Moore” in next month’s U.S. Senate special election.

The three newspapers, all under the Alabama Media Group umbrella, featured the headline at the top of their front pages in block lettering “STAND FOR DECENCY, REJECT ROY MOORE.”

 

 

The 1,200-word editorial that accompanied those headlines urged Alabama voters to dismiss what those beyond the state’s borders have to say about the race.

Alabamians have never cared about what the rest of country thinks of them. And we do not expect all the handwringing from national pundits, conservative or liberal, to make much of a difference. This election isn’t about what a late-night comedian may think of Alabama or whether Sean Hannity can sell advertisements; it’s not about Saturday Night Live or Mitch McConnell. It’s not about Breitbart or National Democrats. It is about the moral values of the people of Alabama.

Do not make your voting decision based on who it will affect on a national stage. Vote based on who it will affect in your hometown.

The editorial then warned electing Moore would send “the worst kind of message” on the issue of abuse.

The three papers are all published by the same company and have the same Moore hating bull dyke editor.

On other threads, it was claimed that three Alabama newspapers were edited by the same, lesbian editor. Would these be those newspapers?

Probably the same ownership on all three "papers".

And nobody gives a shirt who they endorse. Folks will probably do the opposite of what the papers say.

He’s 7 points behind now according to Big League Politics/Gravis poll, very conservative outlet. They say it’s because Moore hasn’t expanded his base beyond the primary numbers and that’s not enough.

Moore needs to drive home that not a single Democrat works with Trump, Jones another obstructionists, another no vote. Trump won AL big in spite of all the sexual accusations.

Please verify and then spread this info.

These three newspapers are subsidiaries of Advance Publications, the same parent company of Conde Nast publications that owns Vanity Fair, GQ and Glamour Magazine.

THIS IS A TRUMP HATING PROPAGANDA FAKE NEWS COMPANY.

If a newspaper says “A”, ‘tis best to star far, far away from “A”.

I can’t speak of the Huntsville or Birmingham papers, but they can’t give away the Mobile paper. All 3 are liberal rags.

It should be noted that all three marginally survive today and barely have local news. If you compare against numbers of the 1970s, they have lost about half of the audience. Plus you can ask most Alabama folks about regarding this paper opinion, and 98 percent will just laugh.

Since when is decency electing a Rat who fully and publicly supports killing babies??? Partial birth abortion is nothing short of killing a live baby by anybody’s definition.
