Detroit News endorses Rmoney

[maryellen99]

They said he was the best hope of changing the Nations fate. UGH

[Le Taz Hot]

1. Detroit????

Well there's gratitude for ya!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. What a bunch of idiots.

I suppose there have to be a few who endorse him.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. No surprise. They endorsed McCain in '08.

[boxman15]

4. Not surprising.

The News Editorial Board is about as conservative as you can get. If the Free Press endorses Romney, then I'll worry. But the News always goes Republican.

[maryellen99]

5. Not surprised either

They have that conservative hack Nolan Finley writing for them.

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Which is the larger one?

[Union Scribe]

9. The Free Press is no better. They endorsed Snyder.

And they are against the proposals for collective bargaining and renewable energy. Shit they don't even want home healthcare workers to have a right to unionize. They're the same broth of scum that the News is made up of. The only good person there is the editorial cartoonist.

7. The Detroit News has been the most CONSERVATIVE paper in the Midwest for over 60 years.

I home delivered the rag back in the '50s. It was RW then. It's even worse today.

Thom Hartmann, take note: The Detroit News NEVER had a labor page. That was the Detroit Free Press. You've had your Detroit dailies confused for years. You may have grown up in Lansing, but you're flat out wrong on this one.

11. Amen to that--I grew up reading that rag...

then I switched to the Free Press. (I'm afraid they're both owned by the same company now. Is that true?)

I wasn't surprised either when the Martinsburg (WV) Journal endorsed Romney. Blecch!

[Bozita]

14. Gannett owns the Freep. News is owned by some other conglomerate.

[Tx4obama]

8. I don't know why folks even pay attention to newspaper endorsements.

A whole bunch of them are owned by millionaires or corporations.

[Fawke Em]

12. They don't.

Anyone counting this shit is a fool.

No one cares what the local yokels say in a editorial opinion.

[graham4anything]

10. this paper is like the NY Post. Every major city has a rightwing rag.

just because it says Detroit, or LA or NY doesn't mean it is democratic

[kevink077]

13. The Detroit News is run by right wing wackos

They never endorse Democrats, ever. They are just as bad as Fox News.

[Cha]

15. The Detroit News has Romnesia! "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" Wonder

how well they'd be doing if mitt's mentality had been in charge instead of Pres Obama?

A Paper in Detroit, I don't care how rw they are..Looks F****** Stupid endorsing mr "LET DETROIT GO BANKRUPT"

[freshwest]

19. Yeah, that's what struck me. Really, endorsing the guy who laughed at economic ruin for Detroit?

Michigan must be a strange place, voting in a GOP governor. when most of their work came from auto jobs. Perhaps it was a backlash over the terrible job losses, but now it appears to be simply cannibalizing itself.

Obama is trying to turn it around. I'm just going to chalk this up to conservative lack of thinking or Koch money paying for these endorsements. That's their style.

The GOP has NO ideas, period. They can't explain what they're doing because they aren't writing their own script.

[RandySF]

16. I don't think they've ever endorsed a Democrat for any office.

[Tigress DEM]

17. They spoke truly, but the direction of that change..... ewwwww.

[maryellen99]

18. One of the comments on their FB page:

The gist of it was....Mitt will show great leadership because his dad was a great governor of michigan. ROFLMAO.

[Rincewind]

20. They are right.

Currently, the United States is on track to lower unemployment, improve the economy, strengthen the middle class, and end our overseas wars. Willard will change all of that.

[Savannahmann]

21. Cancel subscriptions, and tell them why.

Tell them you don't like Papers who support someone who wanted Detroit and the auto industry with it's tens of thousands of workers to go bankrupt. Fuck them.

[gollygee]

22. They always go to the right

When there was competition, it was always News favored the right, Free Press favored the left.

[Cali_Democrat]

23. Let Detroit News go bankrupt
