Newspaper/Magazine Endorsements Megathread

[Gustaf]

So, for the moment it is

Clinton 12
Johnson 4
None 2
Trump 0

Broken down by 2012 endorsement:

Clinton 12 (Obama 6, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 4 (Obama 1, Romney 2, Unknown 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 0

That's off by one from my list (I have 1 fewer Clinton/Obama), which is below.  Do you have one not on this list?

Akron Beacon-Journal   Clinton   Obama   24-Sep
Arizona Republic   Clinton   Romney   27-Sep

You are right, I think I miscalculated.

You leave the tedious work to the mathematicians?

Strictly speaking, Trump does have ONE endorsement.  The Santa Barbara News Press (CA) endorsed him back in June.  Not sure if they will stick with it now though.

Citation please?  If it was an endorsement, I'll add it to the list.

Here you go - you can see the endorsement headline, but to read it you have to register:

Also note that the News Press is somewhat "controversial":

But, it is an endorsement.

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.  I'm not going to make judgement calls on the quality of newspapers; if it's an endorsement, I'll count it.

Interesting, though...in trying to find out who they endorsed in 2012, I didn't find a Presidential endorsement.  But their Senate endorsement was the one-and-only Orly Taitz. (http://www.newspress.com/Top/Article/article.jsp?Section=OPINIONS-LETTERS&ID=566435796928823358&Archive=true)

This brings the running total to:

Clinton 11 (Obama 5, Romney 5, None 1)
Johnson 4 (Obama 1, Romney 2, Unknown 1)
None 2 (Romney 1, None 1)
Trump 1 (Unknown 1)

I guess one could make the case that it makes sense to have a circulation cutoff. This paper is nowhere near the top 100 in the country for example.

That is actually pretty awesome of The Atlantic.

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

Wow.  That may be the best thing I've read this whole campaign.

Fantastic article. Good for Mi Ai!

Yeah, the contrast between principled, thinking Republicans on the one hand and the fascist mouth-breathers on the other has emerged very starkly in this campaign.
