Newspaper/Magazine Endorsements Megathread

[DINGO Joe]

If the Wheeling Intelligencer doesn't endorse Trump, no paper will (Ok, the NY Post).  That is one seriously dumb editorial board.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The Portland Oregonian endorses nobody (they abandoned Presidential endorsements in 2012): http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2016/10/why_we_wont_endorse_a_presiden.html

The others are for Clinton, who passes the century mark. 

Not endorsing in 2012 (in addition to the Idaho Statesman mentioned upthread) is the Stillwater (OK) News Press: http://www.stwnewspress.com/opinion/our-view-best-choice-for-president/article_79b3b296-91bf-11e6-b0ed-77fa6e31c445.html

Endorsing Romney in 2012:

Charleston (WV) Gazette-Mail: http://www.wvgazettemail.com/gazette-endorsements/20161014/gazette-endorsement-hillary-clinton-for-president.  They had previously published a “Not Trump” editorial, so the new one replaces it.  (I'm only counting one endorsement per newspaper; the most recent one wins.)

Orlando Sentinel: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/os-ed-endorsements-president-20161015-story.html

Obama in 2012:

[heatcharger]

The Charleston Gazette-Mail, West Virginia's largest newspaper, endorses... Hillary Clinton.

[Gass3268]

Rachel Maddow just said that the Santa Barbara News Post endorsed Trump. First to do so.

[Crumpets]

Rachel Maddow just said that the Santa Barbara News Post endorsed Trump. First to do so.

IIRC the Santa Barbara News Post has a very dodgy history.

[ApatheticAustrian]

there is no real endorsement, just a list of persons they seemingly endorse behind a paywall.

Rachel Maddow just said that the Santa Barbara News Post endorsed Trump. First to do so.

IIRC the Santa Barbara News Post has a very dodgy history.

This was already discussed, long before Rachel Maddow heard , (page 4 of this thread) and it was decided that the News Press endorsement is probably more of a primary one. The link is below:

The picture that they showed had many more endorsements. Like they were endorsing Sanchez for the Senate.

Oh my god, the security for their offices must be high this week.

My guideline has been to count endorsements only if there was some kind of verifiable evidence; if not a link to the story, a screenshot is OK.  I've left out several reported endorsements where I couldn't find anything.  I watched the Maddow clip and the dateline on the list of endorsements is Oct. 12, so this is clearly a general election endorsement and not the primary one that PeteB mentioned.  As such, I'll add it to the list.  This brings the total to:

Daily papers (135) --
Clinton 108 (Obama 45, Romney 19, None 13, unknown 31)
Not Trump 10 (Obama 1, Romney 2, None 6, unknown 1)
Nobody 10 (Romney 4, None 6)
Johnson 6 (Obama 2, Romney 3, None 1)
Trump 1 (unknown 1)

Non-daily papers (5) --
Clinton 5 (Obama 3, None 2)

Lexington Herald-Ledger for Clinton, went for Obama in 2012.

For the record, that is what I was arguing to do, back on page 4 - recognize it as the first (and so far only) Trump newspaper endorsement.

The reason it didn't stick at the time was that some of you felt that a June endorsement (two months before the convention, and coinciding with the CA Primary) was a primary endorsement and not a GE one. I still think it should count (unless The News Press retracts it ).

Yes, but the June endorsement also listed Del Beccaro as their endorsement for Senate.  Since he lost in the primary, it seems pretty clear that this was indeed their list of primary endorsements.  The new list shows them endorsing Sanchez for Senate in the general election.  But it's kind of moot, since the new one definitely counts as a Trump endorsement.

[PeteB]

A couple more small town newspapers for Clinton - Register News from Mt. Vernon IL and News from Goshen, IN:

Unless my computer didn't bring up the whole screen, they don't even try explaining or defending their endorsement. They just list him as "endorsed".

The political slant of the News Press is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that they endorsed Orly Taitz for Senate in 2012.

Not surprising if you know their history with Trump, but the Des Moines Register endorses Clinton

Q: How long before Mcmullin gets a Utah newspaper endorsement or a newspaper endorsement?

[Brittain33]

Omaha World-Herald endorses Clinton. Romney in 2012, and no Democrat since FDR in 1932.

Deseret News is giving it serious thought (see article below). Since they are virtually a mouthpiece for the LDS church, if they go for him, he will have a chance to win the state.

Staten Island Advance is with her. Not sure who they endorsed in 2012

The Arizona Republic not only stands by its endorsement, but gave a very powerful response to threats they've received after backing Hillary Clinton.
