Breitbart ^ | October 28th 2024 | ELIZABETH WEIBEL

The Tampa Bay Times joined a growing number of news publications in announcing that they would not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the publication’s editorial board.

In an opinion article, the outlet revealed that while the Times Editorial Board had made political recommendations for “17 Democrats and 13 Republicans across 30 partisan races,” along with candidates in “six non-partisan contests,” there was not a recommendation for a presidential candidate, adding that they “never planned to”:

Da Jamaican ho has more than a billion dollars and can’t buy an “endorsement” from people who care. She’s has to buy them from Cheney’s “Endorsement” Tree House.

The media is used to believing they hold the moral high ground. They’re suddenly thinking, “Whoa! Our candidate is so far from the moral high ground we can’t, even... with our flexible ethics, support her.” And, yet they can’t bring themselves to do the logical thing and support Trump, because for years they’ve shouted, “ORANGE MAN BAD!!!”

We need to give the media a metaphorical magnifying glass so they can look for their moral high ground.

This is a hard core communist publication, but even they are gagging on the likes of Harris.

A once-a-week newspaper with approximately 60K distribution. Do ya think even the leftist newspapers are running scared? Even these leftist rags can’t endorse a Communist!

The TB Times is the major paper there. 400K. The 60K paper you reference is probably the Tampa Tribune.

This is a significant non-endorsement, not a nothing burger from a once-a-week rag.

I’m open to correction.

Either she’s a HORRIBLE LOSER CANDIDATE or the media has woken up to their slanted liberal bias and wants to now be fair and balanced.

I think it’s the former.

These a-holes (newspapers) kept pushing Biden out the door, pushed Kamala on everyone, and now won’t endorse her?

Leftist media guild closing ranks. The owners of these rags weren’t given a choice in selecting Harris back in July - which they believe is their role - and they don’t feel they owe Harris anything now. As a bonus, Trump in office is their cash cow.

A third possibility is that the elites have become aware of a Trump "October surprise" and don't want to be left holding the bag after Trump springs it. I can't imagine that Kamala could withstand much real scrutiny of her past.

It is. I hope we are given this opportunity to reform our nation. So many people want it, let’s hope the Almighty gives us the chance.

Colonel, it says a lot that a Red Diaper Baby and aristocratic Communist like Kamela Harris, with her pedigree, and with her two-fer gender/race status, has so many non-endorsements from newspapers who really have nothing to lose by endorsing her.

I mean, if these papers HAD endorsed her, would you have thought any LESS of the papers? I think not. Everyone just expected them to, just as a matter of course. But they didn't!

She REALLY is THAT BAD.
