Far-left USA Today announced on Monday that it will not endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
This makes USA Today one of the latest far-left major publications to steer clear of backing Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz, joining an unprecedented media shift that includes outlets like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times.
A spokesperson for USA Today told The Daily Beast that rather than endorsing a candidate, the paper plans to “provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.”
But this sudden detour away from an endorsement speaks volumes about the lack of support Harris is facing.

Now, five of the six largest U.S. newspapers have either withheld endorsement of Harris-Walz or scrapped endorsements altogether, according to Jake Schneider, Team Trump’s Rapid Response Director.
According to the press release:
Five of the six largest U.S. newspapers have now either declined to endorse Harris-Walz or forego endorsements altogether:
The Washington Post decided to nuke their presidential endorsements for good rather than endorse Harris-Walz — the paper’s first non-endorsement since 1988. The Los Angeles Times — the largest newspaper in Kamala’s home state — declined to endorse for the first time in decades. Multiple other major newspapers — all of whom endorsed Biden in 2020 — have either withheld endorsements or declined altogether, including the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit Free Press, and the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Cowards.................
The knifes are out... And they’re being wielded by 2028 Democrat candidates.
USA Toady is not even worth lining a birdcage with it.
It may be the media owners figure they are putting out so much tonnage of bias reporting they need to announce they are taking an evenhanded approach to the presidential election.
considering all the fraud, I agree. Local and state is the best hope we have, if you are in a red state. Blue states are a loss. I would fully support a new confederation of red states
Not really the owners see the bottom line. Shitting on half of your potential customers is not a good idea. They are too late though.
Propaganda is almost always distributed for free.
Did I hear a major paper in Minnesota declined to endorse anyone? If so, what a major snub to Tampon Tim.
They don’t have guts to endorse the one they like, but only because she’s going to lose. Rats jumping ship.
Springsteen has been overrated since Day One of his career.

USA Today is “far left”?
“she still has springsteen and beyonce, two experienced world thought leaders.”
LOL — SNORT!! Good one.
That’s why we would LOVE to see the private “internal polls” that the parties pay for. They don’t want BS answers. They don’t want to influence the electorate with BS poll numbers. No, they want hard, unvarnished, TRUE answers.
Victor Hanson has been saying for a while that the D internal polls must be horrific.
Someone needs to keep a running tab of all the organizations that have not endorsed the Dem POTUS-wannabe.
These are the same people who complained about overturning Roe V. Wade because it decided the abortion issue locally.
“I see this as the repeated longterm effect of Trump identifying fake news.”
That’s a good observation. For nine years, Trump has been calling them “fake news.” The peoples’ trust in the news organizations is at an all-time low, hence their recent efforts to save themselves.
His branding them “fake news” seems to have really paid off, doesn’t it?
Dem CIVIL WAR as WOKE Media RUNS AWAY from Kamala!!!

At one point they derided it as “McPaper”.
