With the primary season getting underway, it’s also time for the traditional round of newspaper endorsements. Few people seem to believe that those endorsements hold anywhere near the influence they did fifty years ago, but some traditions have to be maintained, I suppose. That’s not the case at the Philadelphia Inquirer, however. They are publishing their picks for the Democratic races as they normally do. But instead of listing endorsements for candidates in Republican primary races in Pennsylvania this week, the editorial board of the Inquirer decided to publish a long-winded explanation of why they refused to endorse a single GOP candidate in any race.
The board begins with what could be seen as a refreshing bit of honesty. They write, “It is no secret that this board, for decades, has leaned toward Democrats.” Really? We never could have guessed. (Insert sarcasm emoji here.) Of course, like so many other large papers, they’ve done a lot more than “lean,” but that point is far too self-evident to spend much time on here. They next walk through the rest of their decision-making process – which we’ll address in a moment – before reaching this despondent conclusion:

"Moderate" Republican power and influence in Pennsylvania is rapidly shrinking.
Philly....Cheating capital of the world.
I could be wrong but anyone who basis their vote on a rag like the PI, is and has been voting libtard already.
No even a black female????
Racists.
“Moderate” Republican power and influence in Pennsylvania is rapidly shrinking.
Combination of the Trump effect and the GOP of Pa “moderates” being part of the 2020 steal..
The electorate is rejecting the GOOe pretty loudly abs solidly here this cycle.
The establishment is pissed and trying everything they can to stop it.
The whole “electability” argument is now their go to..
We will see this fall how it goes
Everyone that the Philly Inquirer endorsed over the past 5 decades has created the paradise you see in Philadelphia every day...murder, drugs, homeless, etc.
They also endorsed the Soros DA, Larry Krassner
They finally reveal their true colors. If the rats would admit it I’d guess we’ll over 1/2 the media would join. Most of the rest would still be biased to democrats just not totally.
If only we could rid our state of Filthadelphia . . .
Election cheating is fine with them as long as the correct 'Rats are elected.
They’re not journalists, they’re activists.
They don’t even say who said Biden.
The Sunday Inquirer was the biggest waste of money I ever spent.
Kathy Barnette-Abrams has said if you don’t vote for her you’re a racist.
From the article:
Many troubling issues about the 2020 elections were brought to light, particularly when it comes to the practice of mass mail-in ballot use. But unless someone can eventually prove some sort of national, illegal scheme on the part of the voting machine manufacturers (something that has yet to be definitively established), it shouldn’t have been that hard to check the Biden box for the newspaper and move on.
1. All the Republicans are "too far right" and the fight is between the merely-MAGA and the ultra-MAGA.
or 2. They have enough self-awareness to realize that any endorsement they do would be counted as a condemnation by Republican voters resulting in a last place finish for their choice.
Probably #2.
“...Moderate Republican power and influence in Pennsylvania is rapidly shrinking...”
What they’re really saying is that the GOP electorate have finally had enough of RINO’s (democrats running in Republican party races), and will no longer vote or tolerate any phony liberal pretending to be a republican, just to get elected (I am looking at you Oz).
I rather prefer GOOe to GOPe - they ARE gooey...
Most honest thing they’ve done since Annenberg sold the paper (to Knight-Ridder?).
