Due to the one of the most asinine endorsements of the century, revenue has hit rock bottom for the Dallas Morning News as thousands of the Dallas newspaper subscribers are cancelling their subscriptions.
The moronic endorsement broke a 75-year streak in the paper’s history of endorsing Republicans, and generated a lot of reader pushback in the form of angry comments and vows to unsubscribe from the paper. Although Dallas is relatively liberal, the state hasn’t gone Democrat in a presidential election in 40 years.
On September 6th the Morning News foolishly announced that they were refusing to endorse Donald J. Trump for President in 2016. The board of the Dallas based newspaper has repeatedly ripped into Trump for what they claim is Trump’s “admiration” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and disavowal of trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as well as national security ideas that the newspapers leadership claims “put sound bites over sound policy.”
The Dallas Morning News had previously endorsed every GOP nominee dating back to 1940. In 1964, it was neutral between Texan and incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson and Republican Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater.
Susan Bennett, a circulation manager for the Dallas Morning News told Get Off the Bs that, “It has been a madhouse here. We are having to work overtime to answer thousands of angry calls from subscribers, who are cancelling their subscriptions to our publication.”
According to Bennett, there has been no loyalty to their newspaper amongst their democratic leaning advertisers, who are “pulling” their advertisements due to the “catastrophic decline” in the newspapers daily subscribers.
The Dallas Morning News is a daily newspaper serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas, which at the start of September 2016 boasted 271,900 daily subscribers. It was founded on October 1, 1885, by Alfred Horatio Belo as a satellite publication of the Galveston Daily News, of Galveston, Texas.
Today circulation has fell below 134,000 daily subscribers, largely due to the newspapers asinine endorsement of Rotten Lying Hillary Clinton on September 7th, claiming that Trump is “unfit to serve as our nations next president.”
The recent demise of the Dallas Morning News, which was once one of the 20 largest paid newspaper circulations in the United States and which boasted nine Pulitzer awards, should come as no surprise to anyone with any brain cells still functioning because the whole nation has been witness to the demise of many of idiots who have foolishly attacked Trump.
Get Off The Bs humorously asked Mr. Trump if he found it counterproductive to destroy businesses and people who attack him, to which Donald replied, “Lacy, their all dishonest. What did I ever do to the Dallas Morning News? Trump will bring back jobs 100%.”
This is Brenda Corpian reporting for Get Off The Bs and with a message to the leadership team of the Dallas Morning News. I am laughing my ass off at you stupid pundits and will party likes it is 1999 again when your dishonest newspaper bytes the dust. Vote for Trump because voting for anyone else is just plain stupid!
This is just one of the first journalism institutions to go down in flames. There will be more.
Good. Let them get real jobs like men.
Any billionaires in Dallas like Bezos who will buy the paper and turn it into their personal blog?
I’d love to see all the “daily worker” clones shut down.
My wife gets The State which I call el estado and daily worker for the coupons. I honestly despise newspapers these days.
Some Cincy paper just went full retard endorsing the Butcheress of Benghazi as the DMN did. They never learn.
They can easily be replaced by recorders if anyone really wants to know what today's dose of BS is.
Great way to start my weekend.
This couldn’t have happened to a more worthy media organ
These people didn’t interview Trump.
Couldn’t see the forest for the trees. They’re going down hand in hand with the Bush family.
The best part...
“According to Bennett, there has been no loyalty to their newspaper amongst their democratic leaning advertisers...”
Let’s hope the NY and LA Slimes follow suit along with the worst of them all the proud Democrat organ from our nation’s capital The Compost!
I love Texas! They wasted no time in making a move against the opinion of those journalists at the Dallas newspaper. I have begged my husband, for years, to cancel his subscription from our local liberal-left rag, and he refuses, telling me that it is the only way he can get local news. I tell him to learn to use the internet. Thankfully, enough others are canceling our rag so that they are failing. The big question, though, is this. When are people going to stand up against the big megaphones of the MSM online and in print (NY Times and the Washington Post) and on NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and ABC. I guess we all need to cancel our cable and satellite. Fat chance of that, I would say.
I wish the same would happen for the NFL & MLB. They deserve it just as much.
Liberals don’t read newspapers. But they are run by rabid liberals.
Simple business rule of knowing your customer being ignored having the usual results.

Or Mexican Carlos Slim for the NYT? Both the NYT and the WaPo were losing employees and subscribers before being rescued by billionaire propagandists.
