"The Star-Telegram’s editorial in October, “Say No to Trump,” led to more than 100 canceled subscriptions, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of its circulation."

So why is the nation's largest newspaper running this story? They are seemingly playing it both ways: (1) brave journalists defy small-town bigotry and endorse Clinton; and (2) few people cancel subscriptions because of pro-Hillary editorial.

The subtext seems to be:

1. Big city liberals forgive and forget.

2. Small town conservatives carry grudges.

3. Despite #2, small town conservatives are powerless and ineffective.

Another thing not mentioned is that the Enid newspaper may have a “break even point” at 9000 newspapers. The article also discussed some key advertisers withdrawing advertising. This lowers the break even point.

People grow sick of the BS. And my guess isn’t that the endorsement of Hillary wasn’t the only “left leaning” article the newspaper has been spewing over the last several years.

I used to read 1 or 2 newspapers everyday. I haven’t bought one in over 10 years. I haven’t paid to subscribe online to any either. And I certainly don’t support advertisers on their websites.
