And the uniform free fall continues. Thank you San Diego Union Tribune.

Sun Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) endorses Clinton:

Sun Sentinel Editorial Board endorses Hillary Clinton for president

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/endorsements/fl-endorsement-hillary-clinton-president-20161001-story.html

For good measure they also endorse AGAINST Trump and catalogue Trump's failings separately:

And, for Clinton, when it rains, it pours:

Endorsement from The Sacramento Bee (no surprise there):

San Diego Union Tribune for Clinton. First Democratic endorsement in 148 years of printing.

And the uniform free fall continues. Thank you San Diego Union Tribune.

Isn't that the paper that endorsed writing in Reagan for the Republican primary?

http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/editorial-vote-for-clinton-and-avert-a-train-wreck/

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.

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.

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.

Trump's response to the flurry of endorsements for Clinton and Johnson:

Donald J. Trump 
@realDonaldTrump
 
The people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the Dallas & Arizona papers & now USA Today will lose readers! The people get it!

[PeteB]

And the symbolic 20th daily newspaper endorsement for Clinton, coming from The Desert Sun from Palm Springs, CA!

The paper endorsed Romney in 2012; in fact, for 90 years it has never endorsed a Democrat:

Not exactly. They also endorsed Bruce Rauner in 2014, so they'd already broken that pledge.

They probably meant they wouldn't endorse in the Presidential contest.

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

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.

Or, you know, it's possible that their editorial boards just think Trump isn't qualified.  Some people say this is the case.

[ApatheticAustrian]

since about all the well-known conservative columnists, published in mainstream media outlets outside of the conservative bubble, have disavowed trump, it is not so far-fetched to assume, that the editorial teams are also united against trump without any outer pressure.

[EnglishPete]

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.
