My Thoughts on Newspapers Endorsing a Politician
2007-12-16 18:40:00 Unless you’re a single-issue/specialized newspaper don’t endorse a candidate. Or for that matter don’t evaluate the news. Just report it. The media indoctrinates America as if we can’t think on our own. I don’t care if you support my politician even don’t endorse because your credibility and bias will be skeptical. That’s it.
