SHIT, I was going to vote for Kamala because Drew Carey said so but now, the New York Post says Trump? OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
Wow you found 1 newspaper that will endorse Trump. He for sure is winning
Just 7 percent of journalists are Republicans. That’s far fewer than even a decade ago.
"In a note to readers, Post publisher William Lewis said the outlet would not back a candidate for president in 2024 or “in any future presidential election.”
It is the first time the Post will not be making an endorsement in a presidential race in 36 years.
“We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” Lewis wrote. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for.”
He added that the Post’s job “is to provide through the newsroom nonpartisan news for all Americans, and thought-provoking, reported views from our opinion team to help our readers make up their own minds.”
“Most of all, our job as the newspaper of the capital city of the most important country in the world is to be independent,” Lewis concluded. “And that is what we are and will be.”"
I kinda think that now that papers like the Washington Post and LA Times are owned by billionaires, they're figuring out that it's better to stay out of endorsing candidates and risking pissing off anyone who might hold it against them later.
