Newspapers endorsing candidates
« on: October 20, 2008, 08:59:49 PM »
I always thought newspapers were supposed to be fair and unbiased.  Well, we've all seen the partisan reporting and knew this to be a farce, but now several papers have come out of their political "closets" and declared their support for their respective  Presidential candidates.

For McCain:

Columbus Dispatch (OH)
Boston Globe
New York Post
Washington D.C. Examiner

For The Evil One (BHO):

Chicago Tribune
Los Angeles Times
Washington Post

There are other papers involved, but these are the biggies.  Anyone else surprised by a couple of these?

Hard to trust the facts on a candidate when the paper is endorsing the other one ...

Headline:  We are proud and excited to announce that we are endorsing BHO ...

Story two:  John, do you still beat Cindy?

Story three:  Todd stresses that at this point in time he should not cheat on Sarah.

Story four:  BHO walks on water!

The Boston Globe is FOR McCain ?  Cool, maybe there's hope for those Massholes yet (Sorry Timothy  ;D )
