The newspapers’ editors say they are “fed up with Gov. Chris Christie’s arrogance . . . his opportunism . . . his hypocrisy.” They’re also “disgusted” with Christie’s recent endorsement of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump after he spent months “trashing” the former reality TV star on the campaign trail.

Christie will be on the short list for Trump to nominate as US Attorney General.

Then he can launch investigations into the corrupt Democrats who run six New Jersey newspapers.

Same headline could have been published every day since Christie took office. Oh, the New Jersey press wishes Christie wasn't governor? Wow, not news at all.

Don’t forget the Trentonian The state’s official newspaper

Hah. Try buying that (or the Star Ledger) anywhere south of Columbus, give or take.

Editors at the newspapers—all of which are owned by media company Gannett, according to USA Today—argue that Christie has spent much of the past year ignoring his constituents while campaigning outside the state.

Okay ...

So more like one newspaper that puts out six copies ...

Mostly. Except for Camden which has neither mostly because the trees are afraid to live there and the toxic waste is easier to just leave in Philly.

Fortunately, they don’t make that decision. They’re a dying breed and their days are numbered.

NJ has over 200 newspapers and only six of them want him to resign, all with the same owner. Not bad for Christie.

One of them (the Asbury Park Press) practically ensured his election when it publicized the salaries of all public schoolteachers in NJ years ago; it destroyed the myth of the underpaid teacher and lined taxpayers up behind Christie. Maybe the ownership changed since then...
