Media indignation alert in the above article. Enid is home to Vance AFB. Really stupid and short-sided decision by the paper given their readership. Humorous reading this and watching the media prattle on about their journalist integrity and "right" to print their opinions. But they seem to miss the point that readers have a "right" to cancel their subscriptions and make their opinions known.

Mullin deserved his ass kicked. I hope his paper loses all its subscribers and advertisers.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

One Sunday after church, Jeff Mullin and his wife were in line at the Western Sizzlin steakhouse here when a man, fists clenched, threatened to beat the hell out of him.

Gotta love that self-pitying spin. The poor man and his wife had just come from church and were minding their own business in the Western Sizzlin and this rabid Trump supporter comes out of nowhere and threatens to beat him up!!!!! First, I wonder if its even true. Second, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the business of writing provocative editorials. If a West Hollywood, CA newspaper wrote a pro-Trump editorial, the threats to that editor would have been a Hell of a lot worse.

The NYT so-called reporters probably need to keep their heads on a swivel themselves...*LOL*

[Robert DeLong]

Exactly right, rights to “opinions” go both ways. The paper expressed theirs and the readers expressed theirs. No story here at all, just more opinions being expressed.

[Red Badger]

I bet they don’t do that again...............

Until I see trustworthy corroboration, this is #FAKE_NEWS.

I saw this headline on Drudge and this is how I hoped the story would go.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

In the article, the newspapers that supported Hillary were characterized as “brave”. Were there any leftist papers that supported Trump? Doubt it and of course that would be stupid not brave in the NYTimes eyes.

Reminds me of a book I read years ago by Thomas Ricks a former reporter. He excoriated the military for its rigidity to conservatism and argued that it wasn’t healthy for so much of it’s officer corps and enlisted as well to be republicans. No mention of any problem in his profession being overwhelmingly leftist and Democrat....

If this is the best LIBERALS can do to show CONSERVATIVE ‘violence’ against CLINTON supporters, they’d better go back to the drawing board.

LIBERALISM is the conduit for psychologically and physically destroying America.

[Vigilanteman]

. . . wrote that Donald J. Trump lacked “the skills, experience or temperament to hold office.”

I've heard that phrase repeated by so many scribes and media elite that it is like a slogan.

I've never heard one of them say what skills or temperament Hillary Clinton has to hold office. Or even address her supposed experience as a U.S. Senator (from a state where anyone with a "D" after their name is guaranteed election) or as Secretary of State where her "experience" produced disastrous results.

There are plenty of examples where people with stellar careers in private industry produced stellar results in public service.

George P. Schultz (Bechtel) and Ronald Reagan (Hollywood) come immediately to mind.

Can anyone name comparable examples of people in public service who went on to stellar careers in private industry? With the exception of military service, unless less said private industry traded on government contracts and connections, I can't name one.

“You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!”

A local business man wrote a letter to the editor praising BJ Clinton and bad mouthing W back in 2000. I called him up and told him he’d never see this family spend a dime in any of his stores again. Once on my ban list, always on the ban list. He had 3 stores at the time and closed one a year later.

Of course the newspaper is free to print anything it wants,

And its readers are equally free to discontinue their subscriptions.

It's all about freedom. See?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“The News & Eagle, with a circulation of 10,000, lost 162 subscribers who canceled the paper”.

They only lost about 1.6% of their subscriptions and they are whining about it. Should have been 50%.

[samtheman]

People have a right to not buy a newspaper. Advertisers have a right to not buy ads in a newspaper.

Compare that to the behavior of the Trump-haters, like students and Breyn Mawr running a Trump-supporter out of school.

Big difference.

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

The editorial board is perfectly in their rights to endorse whom they choose. However the idiocy of endorsing Clinton is eclipsed by lack of awareness of their friends and neighbors reaction.

The idea that Mr. Trump, for all his flaws has fewer of “the skills, experience or temperament to hold office” than Hillary Clinton, is laughable on its face. That is pure inside the beltway/establishment thinking, that demonstrated a tin ear regarding how unpopular Mrs. Clinton was in Oklahoma.

That aside, there was no reason to anyone to get angry, just cancel your subscription and move on. People who endorsed Clinton are not worth the energy it takes to think about them.

The Hillsboro Argus (suburban Portland Oregon) was purchased over a decade ago by the Portland Oregonian.
The Oregonian had gone from slightly left-of-center to hard-left during the previous 20 years, while the Argus had remained right-wing (in its editorials). The slant of the Argus changed immediately to left-ish and subscriptions dropped markedly, though the population of the area was expanding exponentially. Now the printed Argus is dead and gone, while the Oregonian is barely hanging on. Part is doubtless due to the general reduction in printed newspaper, but the loyal Argus subscribers would have continued for years, were it not for the immediate and drastic shift in editorial content. The NYT article continues in the same vein as the election coverage, in that we deplorables need to get with the program and accept the bias of media. Small town America disagrees.

[1Old Pro]

I thought The Albany Times Union would lose half of their subscribers when their editorial recently called for electors for Trump to vote for Hillary.

[marron]

The editorial board, in a gray-shaded column on Page A4 on Oct. 9, wrote that Donald J. Trump lacked “the skills, experience or temperament to hold office.”

But an embezzler with no legal accomplishments who sells her office does. Brilliant.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I am surprised they only lost 162 subscribers.
Trump carried every county in OK, as did Romney.
They had to have been insane to endorse Hillary.
