A central Florida newspaper has apologized to its readers for the decidedly anti-Donald Trump coverage that has been published during the election.
The Daily Commercial published an editorial titled “The media, the election and bias” on Oct. 23 that explained the paper is reliant on wire services for much of its election coverage and those reports are weighted heavily against Trump.
“The Daily Commercial hasn’t done enough to mitigate the anti-Trump wave in the pages of this paper,” it wrote. “You deserve a more balanced approach to the coverage of elections and other weighty issues.”

They sense that Hillary will lose.
“Please trust us again after Americans elect Donald Trump, despite all our shilling for Hillary Clinton and bashing of Trump.”
Go stand in the corner!
WOW ROFL!!!! Thanks for posting this xD
More signs of the media sniffing a Trump victory.
Subscription cancellations work!
” that explained the paper is reliant on wire services for much of its election coverage and those reports are weighted heavily against Trump.”
IDK. An apology should be received and forgiveness extended.
However, that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t look at future publications without suspicion.
Yup, let the backpeddling begin.
We do not need fair weather friends.
They should also apologize for their unprecedented misspelling of unprecedented.
Yet...they still took a shot at Trump saying he is way down in the polls if you read their “open letter” when it’s clear he is not way down in any Florida poll. They are trying to get their readers back, but they could still not just let it go.
A week before the election? They can go to hell.
Not just a Trump victory, a Trump landslide. I don’t think they would be apologizing if they thought the race would be close and Hillary had any chance of winning.
John Semmens writing under a pseudonym, right? LOL.
They are now in full CYA mode.
The paper is wrong again. We don’t deserve balance, we deserve the truth. And real reporting to uncover the truth!
Don’t want to appear to overconfident and keep the voters home BUT getting near to breaking out the
PAYBACKS ARE HELL stickers and shirts.
Someone should be keeping track of the dissenters and when they come crawling back..
The likes of McCain, Ryan should be kicked to the curb if they even ‘think’ about getting on the band wagon..
MZ South Carolina may have come under the gun BUT even she can’t be trusted anymore.....
Priebus ‘talks’ a good game but has RNC paid for any Trump advertising? Not much of a leader if he can’t lead his own troops......
GOPe should just die off and probably not a bad idea for some of them to be turned out...
“They sense that Hillary will lose.”
So this is their mea culpa for being a shill for Hillary irrespective of the feelings of their readers. So I would think that the readers should “divorce” the paper.
