Newspaper/Magazine Endorsements Megathread

[EnglishPete]

I'm really interested in reading any major newspaper that endorses Trump, if one exists.

Do people still read blogs that come in this antiquated paper format?

On a more serious note I would imagine that very few would even think about it. Most of these newspapers are owned by a handful of big corporations.

If those corporations can be happy with either candidate then they'll allow their papers to endorse either. If they want one candidate and are dead set against the other then no such latitude will be required (not that they'll need close instruction - the editors they hire to run these hack blogs are not hired for their great independence of mind and bold thinking).

The New York Post endorsed Trump in the primaries so they might endorse him in the general if Murdoch wants them to.

This is not how the media works.

That's exactly how newspapers work, its how they've always worked. He who pays the piper calls the tune, same as TV.

Well, and there is no difference between Soviet Russia and the fake western democracies. I got it.

How is life on Mars?

You think that journalists and especially editors don't work to ensure that their articles don't go against the political and economic interests of their owners and their advertisers. You're the one who lives on another planet if you think that.

Donald Trump is not the candidate for people capable of putting words together coherently.

There certainly are good journalists and news blogs out there supporting Trump.

Now of the editors of all of those legacy news blogs that still produce a version of their blog in that antiquated paper format (so called 'newspapers') none are supporting Trump. This is unsurprising. These legacy blogs are mostly owned by a few big corporations and are all financially dependent on big corporate advertisers. So if the big corporates are all backing one candidate and opposing another then their employees will follow suit in their publications.

since about all the well-known conservative columnists published in mainstream liberal media outlets outside of the conservative bubble, in the liberal media bubble have disavowed trump, it is not so far-fetched to assume, that the editorial teams hired to run said liberal media outlets are also united against trump without any outer pressure because they wouldn't have been hired if they weren't pro-corporate libs in the first place.

FTFY

Trump's only remaining endorsement hope (and it does not look good):

I'd be very surprised if they endorse Trump. Murdoch may be somewhat conservative in some ways but he's also a big supporter of open borders. Also his sons, who are becoming ever more important in the business, are libs and Clinton supporters.

The NY Post can't formally endorse Clinton because that would be bad for their marketing but I doubt they'll formally endorse Trump either.
